Auto Trans

When filling up, the fuel guage will go to the FULL possition.
As gas is used, the fuel guage will decrease until it reaches slightly above the HALF of a tank mark.
The fuel guage will NOT decrease past this point.

Any Ideas?

Thanks!

Sounds like the fuel sending unit needs replacement if not the fuel gauge is out of calibration

Thanks rasmataz. I'll check the callibration first. Probably a lot easier than replacing the sending unit.
