This is weird....25K 2010 GS.....had a 1/4 tank of fuel in it. It has been starting rough again before smoothing out at idle so to fix that I put in a bottle of Techron and that seems to clean it up for a time. Anyway I put the bottle in and then drove it around for about 10 miles before filling it up. When I did fill it up and headed out on the highway all the bells and whistles went off and the DIC was saying Low Fuel and service fuel system....The guage was reading flat empty. I pulled over and restarted the car to see if that would reboot it. It did not but the guage went to a little over half full. I knew it was full so we proceeded on our journey of about 120 miles.....after about 30 miles the DIC went back to normal and the guage read full and I had no problems after that. Did not have a problem with it before. The performance of the car never was effected but the Check Engine Light is still on.....I will read some codes and see what they say.
It was just odd and I don't know if the strong mix of Techron in the low fuel tank threw something off or what but I will continue to moniter it.......that's all for now.....
One other thing is I was in a hurry so put the pump handle on the 2nd click for a faster fill and I usually only use the the slowest fill when fueling but I don't see how that could do anything....
like I said, weird.
