so guys one question,
is the only way to fix this problem is going back to the dealer? wouldnt the left over gas tend to burn out?

is there a quicker way to clean up the fuel build up while i was gone to asia?

I have this problem. Sometimes I get the gauge past the F, and then, sometimes below the F.

Eh, no big deal. Every now and then, I do my own calculations on gas consumption and it correlates with what the computer states.

I, personally, don't think it's a big deal. But, very curious as to why it does that.
