Have a 2005 T&C. The engine cuts out anytime I

Have a 2005 T&C. The engine cuts out anytime I get to 1/4 tank of fuel. No other issues while tank is above this. Obviously something with the fuel pickup, probably something electrical sensor related but was hoping someone else may have had a similiar issue.
thanks

Where is my access panel to my fuel pump on my 2005 Tahoe

;) the engineers made it so a fellow has to empty the fuel tank, disconnect the fill hose and vent line, disconnect the 3 fuel lines and loosen the band straps holding up the tank.. In short the fuel pump is in the tank and the access panel is the 8 or so bolts on the top of the tank... one short cut we used to use if we had a pull out bed liner was to locate the tank and cut a hole through the box directly over the tank where the pump was located then you could just lift the box liner and the top of the tank was right there .

Fuel pump sensor on Mazda atenza 2005 reading empty when car still has 1/4 tank of gas left.Car cuts out will sensor get worse or can I keep my car above 1/4 to stop car cutting out

Replace the fuel pump assembly. The in tank fuel pumps also have the fuel gauge built into the same assembly.

Please verify this through a parts store but that is my initial thought on this problem.

GOOD LUCK

When i turn the key to run i don't hear the fuel pump run why?

Replace fuel filter first if no difference then you can either have a shop do a pressure test to determine pump is bad or bite the bullet and hope the $200 fix works.

2005 Chevy Malibu evap sensor won't go off after changing it. Recently had a fuel level system done on the tank.

evap sensor won't go off ? Do you mean the check engine light ? What DTC - diagnostic trouble code ? fuel leveler system done ,your funny ! Fuel gauge sending unit of fuel pump ? With the fuel nozzle shutting off like that, the air in the tank is causing that , which means there is a problem with the Evap vent solenoid or wiring to the vent solenoid .

My car will have high revs or low revs at anytime and also just cuts out while I am driving.

Invest in a cheap OBD fault code reader from Amazon or eBay. This will help you pinpoint the problem(s)

New engine fitted on my grande renault scenic 2004 but it has trouble starting and cuts out when going round corners

Are you low on fuel? Try running around with a mostly full tank.

Usually if a motor cuts out when going around a corner it could be low on fuel, or the pump pickup lines are shot...This also could be an electrical issue with a wire that has gotten into trouble when the engine was swapped in.

The fuel guage on my 2005 F250 super duty 6 liter diesel engine just went to zero and has 3/4 of a tank of fuel any assistance on where to check for a damaged wire or loose connection

wiring harness under dash.
wires coming off top of fuel tank.
check all fuses.
do you do a lot of off roading - you may have cut or pulled a wire out.
finally you may have:
1. a bad fuel tank sending unit - need to drop the tank to replace.
2. a bad fuel gage.
3. a bad instrument panel

Filled truck up with fuel and fuel guage stoped working

There is a TSB for this issue ( TSB 08-2-9 ).

The problem is high sulfur content fuel will cause a problem with the fuel level sending unit, and cause it to read incorrectly.

The 2 times I had this happen, I was not at my normal brand fuel ( had it happen with Shell fuel both times ).

I fueled at 1/2 tank with my normal brand, and then after another 1/2 tank fueled again, and the problem went away.

If you want, the TSB lists new revision fuel level senders, that you can drop the fuel tank, and replace your exiting one with to cure the problem.

The correct P/N depends on your truck cab & bed config, and options
