Damaged/clogged evap canister. You probably overfilled fuel tank one too many times and caused damage. Evap canister is kind of charcoal filled canister located on your fuel system vent. When tank is overfilled gasoline reaches evap canister and and makes charcoal to became hard like clay. Once that happens fuel tank looses its vent and fuel pump cannot pull fuel because vaccum created inside fuel tank.
When you let your car go to completely empty, it starts to run on the fumes of gasoline. As you cannot clean your gas tank, dirt and other contaminants get into the tank -- thus lowering the quality of your gasoline.
I suggest filling up with more higher tier gasoline. If this does not work, I would see a mechanic.
My guess is the fuel tank sender unit has come adrift inside the tank somehow. Run the car to a very low tank level, locate the tank sender unit release it to access it and see if that gives you any clues. Please remember you are dealing with gasoline and all precautions should be taken. If you are not sure how to do it get a knowledgeable neighbour or good DIY tech to help. I'm pretty sure if you fix the sender problem it will stop the erratic message.
Your fuel pump assembly located inside the gas tank has a float that measures how much gasoline is in the tank. False readings means the fuel pump assembly needs to be replaced.
If your fuel gauge is showing you in accurate readings this is normal to all vehicles that are not used to fill-up gas full regularly but sometimes the cause of the inacuracy is due to faulty float valve in the gas tank you need to replace it
more like fuel pump damaged. gasoline keeps fuel pump cool and lubricated if fuel tank run empty fuel pump will over heat which will destroy it. never run out of gas.fuel filter will get plugged with debris from fuel tank when tank runs empty all sediment botton tank will break up stop up fuel filter.
Hi,Did you start the vehicle after you put the gas in the tank? A drain plug is fitted underneath the tank,drain the tank of gas then fill it half way or more it may run a little sluggish at firs but the amount of diesel to gas ratio will mean it will do no harm.Hope this helps.
Don't let the car run out of gas. Fill the tank and run until the tank is half empty. Again fill the tank.
By driving until you run out of gas, you are letting sediments/dirt collected in the bottom of the tank to enter the engine. Rather they will block the fuel filter. Then gas will not reach the engine.
Clean the gas filter and your car will run fine.
The same advice again. Don't drive until the tank becomes empty.
When you say E, I am supposing it is Empty. When a car is running on empty the fuel pump picks up dirt and debris from the bottom of the tank. Check your fuel filter. Fill up the tank with fresh gasoline to at least half tank. The ABS brake system comes on when there is not enough fluid in the barke fluid reservoir. Check the fluid level. it could also be you need brake pads.
