I have already ran out of gas once due to the faulty gauge, so i now have to figure it out via mileage! The gauge was working just fine, and one day this just…

At about 80,000kms the fuel level sensor failed. I took it into my local nissan dealership and was told that it would cost about $700cdn to repair it. The service technician was very eager to get it fixed for me, but i declined. The fuel gauge reads empty when the tank is full and at a certain point it reads half full but it never reads full. The service engine soon light is always lit. Apparently this is a common…
