    I filled my gas tank, seems like the gauge is stuck on the F mark as I been driving around for 2 days.I never had this happen before, so I wonder if I should disconnect battery,then hook back up?,hit the bottom of the gas tank to jar the float?I guess I am looking for an easy fix.
    Also thanks to all for the 'welcome to the site".
