Technician should drive the vehicle to duplicate the concern. The fuel gauge will have a tendency to falsely indicate a lower fuel level than what is actually present. The fuel gauge will take a few minutes to show the correct fuel level. On vehicles equipped with an automatic transmission no buffering takes place when the transmission is in park or neutral. This is a normal characteristic and no repairs are necessary. On vehicles equipped with a manual transmission the fuel gauge is buffered in all gears and neutral. There is a timer which starts to count up when the clutch is depressed. When this timer reaches its calibrated value the buffering stops. This is a normal characteristic and no repairs are necessary.","document":{"url":"https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2016/MC-10114443-9999.pdf","alternate_url":"https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2016/MC-10114443-0001.pdf","confirmed":false},"url":"https://open.wenmarpro.com/bulletins/10114443","components":[{"id":"fuel-system","name":"Fuel
