2003 ML fuel gauge reads wrong
Probably a simple answer. My 2003 ML fuel gauge all of suddens reads 3/4 full whenever I fill up. this started 4-5 fill-ups ago, then when consumption "catches up" to the 3/4 read the guage registers and reads correctly as the fuel is consumed. Fuel pump problem,contaminated fuel causing a sticking problem...thoughts?

The fuel level sensor setting in, i think, the instrument cluster needs to be recoded. its a common problem. The fuel level sensor doesnt take an exact reading when the tank is fuel, it only takes an educated guess, and yours is guessing wrong.
