I filled up my gas tank on Sunday, and I filled it up until the gas pump stopped putting gas into my car (meaning it was full), but when i got into my car the gas gauge showed that i had a little bit less than 3/4 of gas in my car?

then today (wednesday) the gauge showed that i had about a quarter of gas in my tank, and over those 4 days i probably drove enough to not even make the needle go down to half (it was probably 10 degrees out all day, would that effect it?)

so is my gas gauge messed up?
or was it the gas pump that wasnt working?
i just got the car.. and the first time i got gas i know the needle went all the way up...

but ill keep an eye on it

so did it probably fill up good enough when i filled it up?
because the high for the next 3 days is going to be like.. 5 degrees and dont really want to get gas then lol

thanks!

unplug the harness to guage and ground the +. with key turned to on, the guage should peg to max. If it does, it could be the float or in the pickup not working properly. If it doesn't peg out, it is most likely the guage.
