P0461 code
Been having this check engine line for the longest . I know what the code means but idk how to fix it . Has anyone found a solution or any suggestions and I always clear the code with the obd so it won’t annoy me.

IME a bad sending unit is the first step in your fuel pump going bad. It could be something else (I had a OBD2 port reader with a connection issue that would cause this CEL along with a CANBUS communication error), but if the car is under warranty, get it in and tested. If not, I'd run it until it dies- you can run with a bad sending unit for a LONG time and you'll be fine, it doesn't always mean that the fuel pump is screwed. Don't trust the fuel gauge, start using the trip odo instead
