On my 2011 300 SLX with SmartCrap, once the fuel tank is less than 1/2 full, the dash gauge (and VesselView - but the same data feeds both readouts) will drop sharply to 1/4, and then show 0 gallons when there is still about 1/3 of a tank.
Those who have VV can relate: low and critically low fuel make the alarms go crazy.
When the tank is full, the gauges display accurately...as well as through about 1/2 a tank.
So while the sending unit isn't broken (because it's still sending data), it's inaccurate under 1/2 a tank.
I see two options here - remove the current sending until and see why it could be dropping to E so easily, or replace the unit entirely.
Curious, though, if anybody has experienced anything similar or has sage advice before I go paying with potential fire.
