So, it usually takes me about $25-$30 to fill my tank from a quarter tank to full. One time i put in $10 dollars to get myself home from out of state and my gas gauge did not move from the quarter tank mark. It continued to go down at a normal rate the way it normally does but i had more gas in my tank than my gauge was actually reading because the next day i go to fill the rest of the tank up and the light was on but it only took me $18 dollars to fill the entire tank to full. So, i assumed since its the first time it'll be okay. Just today i fill up my tank from a the light to test it again and it takes $26 but the problem is that the gauge didn't fully reach the top to the full mark. I had about an eighth of a quarter tank missing. So i was wondering if i have a bad sending unit or possibly what can my problem be.
