I had 1/4 tank left when i filled up with gas tonight. When I started the truck up, I wrote the mileage on my gas receipt, then pulled away from the pump. I glanced down at my gauges and noticed that my fuel gauge was reading empty and the low level light was on.

When I got home, I shut the truck off and then started it again hoping it would reset, but no luck.

Has anyone else had this happen?

Mine isn't that bad, but When full mine is between 3/4 and full. It's the fuel sending unit.

I've had mine in to the dealership three times due to this exact problem.

What have they done? I should have had them look at it when it was in to get the new rear axle, but I was afraid that it would take them longer.

Update: This morning I started up the X, and my gauge reads full, but now my SES light is on. When I got to work, I pulled the gas cap, and then put it back on (making sure it was tight). Hopefully, the light will reset. If not, I'll get the computer scanned.

What have they done?

The only thing most dealerships know how to do; replace it. It seems to go bad every 4,000 or so miles. If it happens again, I am going to claim Lemon Law (4th Time), so that I can take it to another shop to actually troubleshoot the problem, while having Nissan USA pay for it.

I can't comment on my direct car yet, but when I purchased it, it was only between 3/4 and full, and I commented to the wife, "Look, they didn't even fill it up!"...

Sounds like the problem?

So, I finally got a chance to take the X to Auto Zone. They scanned it and I have P0463 - which they told me was the Fuel Level Sending Unit Condition. Their computer says that P0463 is triggered by poor electrical connection at the fuel level sending unit. Probable cause is a failed fuel level sending unit.

I guess I'll be taking it in to Nissan - it is still under warranty (for another 6K)

I finally brought the truck into the dealership. It was the sending unit, but they didn't have one on hand. They gave me a 2008 Titan 2WD ext. cab long bed to drive while they fix the X. Its a nice vehicle, but I'd rather have my X. Should be fixed tomorrow - luckily it is still under warranty.

I hope it all gets taken care of.

2011 UPDATE: Got the P0463 code again - this time at 102K miles. I'm out of warranty now, so I'm probably not going to fix this anytime soon.

 

[fangars]

Perhaps we can fix ours together. Buy the parts and do one truck at a time. Mine is working part time.

I have a FSU that I bought and then the recall came out so I never used it so if your rig isn't covered under the recall I will sell it to you for real cheap.
