A year ago, I had to replace all of the major undercarriage lines after the transmission lines blew out. While having the transmission lines and brake lines replaced, I was told the fuel lines were split at the fire wall over the transmission and had to be replaced as well.

The fuel light came on and has never turned off.. now we can't tell how much fuel the vehicle has, it doesnt show keeps saying low fuel even when its full. The gage that shows how much fuel it has is stuck on the empty side. I feel that this is dangerous because you don't know how much gas it has.
