Any one seen this before? Gauge seems to have lost its ability to dampen the sloshing effect of bumpy roads, swings upward, toward full, going higher and higher until the gauge is maxxed out. Was using WVO and DSE formula for a couple of tankfuls, then dino back in (thinking it may dilute and wash out any possible side effects of WVO). Both front and rear tanks began acting up within a day or so of each other. I read that biodiesel was a good solvent so I ran some B20 thru it and one of the gauges seems to be acting better, however, I accidently ran out of fuel on one tank while driving the interstate. Switched to the other and after a mile or so it quit bucking and ran OK. Now it wants to miss under full throttle. I'm going to replace the fuel filter and change the oil (overdue) to see if that helps. Seems very odd to me (WVO causing such a prob) but the truck has 180K on it and had been used very little over the last couple of years.
