I need help! Low Fuel light on right after fill?

[BurnTire]

I've had it happen once before last summer. The problem is pretty common on some of ford's other lines such as the explorer. The 'fix' that the dealerships recommend is putting in a bottle of the fuel additives every 5k or so.

Maybe there is some gunk on the unit. Sounds like the float is sticking in the down position.

basically that is the theory as to why it causes problems on some of the vehicles and that the additive will clean things up so they work properly. Damn things.

Good news at least for now, I was driving home from work today and it started reading correct again, we will see if it lasts long again, thanks for the help guys.
