Faulty fuel gauge???
I have a 1999 Toyota Yaris that has run extremely well over the years - no major problems and I am very happy with it. However, last week I filled the tank up and the fuel guage is still showing full to the top and usually after a week it shows that its gone down a bar or two, so not sure if it is faulty?? A friend of mine said that if its faulty it might be that I need a fuel tender and said it would cost LOADS of money!! Any suggestions???

Could be pump shut off later than usual resulting in over filling the tank. There is a substantial amount of fuel that can be held in the filler neck. Just wait it out a while longer instead of hitting the panic button so quickly. I'm sure the gauge will drop soon, if it hasn't already.

Moved your thread into the maintenance and service section. Didn't belong in general.
