So yesterday I was getting in my red truck ('97 C1500) to go somewhere and I noticed something odd. I filled the tank up the night before, but when I started the truck the fuel gauge read completely empty sitting in my driveway. I knew it had gas, so I pulled out of the driveway and started moving. The gauge slowly started creeping up, and by the time I made it to my destination (5-10min) it was reading full again. When I started the truck to go home the gauge behaved normally.
Has anyone experienced this before? If so what was the cause? I'm leaning towards the sensor in the tank rather than a wiring or cluster issue, as there is no erratic gauge movement. It was a very slow and gradual thing.
