Tank on Empty

Dodge Vans & Screwed Up Gas Gauges

We have 2 Dodge Caravans. Both are 1994, one is a grand caravan, the other just a caravan. On both of these vehicles, the gas gauges are screwed up. To the point where the light comes on and say's "E" and we actually have about a quarter tank or more of gas. One day, my husband put 20.00 in one of the vans. He drove 5 miles and the light came on. We took both vehicles to the machanic, who told us that Dodge/Chrysler vehicles are known for this problem. And aside from replacing the fuel pump and components (and sometimes not even then), you're stuck with it. We've been keeping written track of miles per gallon for a while now lol.

I know! This happens to me all the time and I wondered about the gage being screwed up! I put twenty in also and only drove 15 miles and the light came on. Thanks for the confirmation!
