? on my 2000 LHS. I know the gas tank holds 17, but I’m only able to fill it with 14 gallons when the fuel gauge reads “F” (the trip computer states 5 miles or less). Chrysler is telling me (via email customer feedback) that 3+ gallons are in reserve and that the fuel sender can’t “sit” on the very bottom of the gas tank (to measure all the fuel in the tank).

Am I the only one with this problem???

Thanks in advance!

PS: Also, after I fill it up and drive for about 80-90 miles… the fuel gauge reads ½. It then takes about 160 miles to get to “E”. The low fuel light comes on about 15 miles (trip computer) left.

I don t know man I don t know...my LHS behaves weird too, but it s pretty much the opposite than yours, first the gas level goes down slowly, and afer it passed the 1/2 line it goes faster.

Chrysler did intentionally make the fuel gauge read empty, when in fact there is about 2-3 gallons left. The overhead trip computer will say zero miles to empty, when in fact you have at least 20 miles left. It's a safety measure to help you make sure you don't run out of gas. I've pumped in 17 gallons before.

As for the gauge moving faster on 1 half of the tank...

i haven't got underneath the car, but maybe the tank is not perfectly square? maybe it's smaller at the top and bigger at the bottom, like a trapazoid. If so, the level would drop more rapidly from full to mid, than it would from mid to empty.... just a guess....

Thank you for the info !!!

You nailed it there. I just pulled the tank from my 99 and the top is only about 1/4 of the size of the bottom of the tank.
