    Hi friends, I get a Tacoma 2018 2.7 4 cyl and for some reason the gas gauge is always empty. Is there any fuse or something like you know?

    When you fill up what does the "miles to empty say"
    when you are low on gas does the " Low fuel warning come on"
    i think that info comes from the sending unit
    if those do not work then 99% sending unit'

    was the fuel pump replaced under the recall?
    might not have been reconnected properly

    For the first question it is always the same value.
    And actually the low fuel warning is always turn on.

    Then sounds like the sending unit in the tank,IMO
    If you plan on doing it yourself, IMO, removing the bed is easier than removing the tank.
    Others my disagree.
