Faulty fuel readings - 08 W22
We have an 08 Bounder on a w-22 chassis, the problem we have is when fueling at a fill up (not an overfill) the gauge reads almost 1/4 tank over full, at 5/8 of a tank it takes approx. 42 gallons. (75 gal tank) When in the mode to show miles to empty, with a full tank it starts at about 450 MTE, as we travel and the gas tank go down, the mile to empty go UP, after using about 1/2 tank the gauge show about 700+ miles to empty ( I wish). First dealer said cluster to working right and after checking with WH, said according to my serial no. that there is an updated sending unit and "card" but fuel tank had to be amost empty for them to change it. After some use I found that a WH dealer is 12 miles from my home, so there it went. Now they said cluster is fine, can't under stand the problem, never heard of the sending unit having a "card" . They claim everthing is based on avg. and first dealer just was guessing. (even though it was the WH rep that said change out sending unit. I kept telling anybody at the second dealer, the miles to empty should not go up, especially not twice the range of a full tank, in my older mind I don't think that number should go up at all.
Has anyone else had this issue?? Someone from WM said the Reg'l Service Mgr. would calll me back after I called (from over 2 hrs) to customer service, of course nobody called.
I like the dealer, but I know when something isn't right. I would like for wH to also read this.
