2014 Tundra Distance to empty issue
Posted on 6/20/17 at 9:12 pm
Posted on 6/20/17 at 9:12 pm
So after reading the thread either here or yhebOt about shutting off the engine while pumping, I got gas earlier today and didn't shut it off. Jumped back in the truck. The needle goes up but the distance to empty stays at 28. It's now at 3 even after the truck sat for a few hours off. Any ideas?

I drive a 2014 Tundra as well and can sadly confirm that's probably accurate.
Fuel gauge looks ok? Tried disconnecting the negative battery terminal for a few mins?

Well that's dumb as hell.

Ha yeah the needle is fine. No I haven't tried disconnecting the battery

To reset my fuel relay in my Toyota I had to turn the ignition on/off 3 or 4 times to reset. Maybe that will help? I know certain senors require distance more than time

I don't remember the last time I shut off a vehicle to fuel it up. That includes gasoline and diesel.

Why is it "dumb as hell". You have some actual evidence of something or just a position you've taken because of information you've read on the internet?

Looks like I am in the cool club as a owner of a 2014 Tundra and yes, you can be on full, leave the gas station, and still have only 28 miles till empty. Them Tundras love those gas stations.

I did this and then drove to BR. It fixed at some point along the way. So not sure if it was this or the distance thing. Thanks guys.

Haha. I got a new job a month ago and I think the biggest perk is the fuel card.

The Tundra will show empty and still have 4-5 gallons left.

I couldn't tell you since I ignore this feature.
When I bought my first Tundra that spec'd a 25 gallon tank.....and I drove it until it said one mile till empty then I put 19.5 gallons in it.
I love my Tundras (on my third now), but that's the stupidest nanny ever. Just tell me how many miles I ACTUALLY have before I run out! Don't tell me I'm out when I have 5 gallons in the tank.
For years now I reset the average MPG and trip my odometer.

doesn't it just seem dumb, from a common sense standpoint? There is combustion going on inside the engine, and you're supplying the fuel. Not saying anything will happen, but why chance it?
Posted on 6/21/17 at 9:52 am to AU_251
I'm no mechanic, but I would assume that any combustion going on in the engine has no way to reach back to the fuel tank. If it did, I wouldn't think having the gas cap on or off would necessarily matter.

Same here. I have a 38 gallon tank in my 2016, and when it says 2 miles left until empty I can manage to squeeze 31 gallons in if I talk sweet to the truck.

Can you teach me this language?

No I think the same thing. I don't think there is any likely way something would happen. I'm just saying, I'm not taking my chances.
