Getting very frustrating. I fill up, and drive 6-700 miles. Guage shows I'm at 1/4 tank by the time I'm close to stopping. Rest for the night and fuel shows half a tank. Drive more and it drops quick as if the fuel is going to my secondary but not coming back.
Ive measured with a stick and it is indeed very uneven.. Almost ran out of gas once, with a quarter tank in my second.
09 670, what so I need to fix to get this working right?
Fuel will not equalize when driving

There is vents on top of your tanks, usually they have i little lose running down the tanks on the outside. I would check and clean/replace those before i do anything else. Is they are dirty it will cause vacuum in the tanks.easytopleez33, flood and BlackThought Thank this.

Checked those a while back. Hoses weren't blocked. The brass piece wasn't gummed up or anything
-
Sure sounds like a dirty dober done clogged one of the vent lines off the top of fuel tank.

On a 2004 t600 and my current 2015 t 680 I run into the same issue .. after changing numerous parts on the t600 I figured out its temperature related and just dump a bottle of conditioner in tanks .. it solves the issue for a month or two and I repeat the process .. I think it's moisture related .. You may want to try this first before going through the parts changing procedure

There should be a little canister type filter at the end of each of the breather tubes 20$ or so. Change em both or pull em off and see if your tanks equalize.
My lines were clear however I found if there wasnt equal restriction between the 2 filters, it would throw it all out of wack -
Do you have a pic?
Mine has a brass fitting with a ball inside. When I took it off the ball moved freely. Thought it was fine. There is nothing at the bottom of the tube. Unless you're talking about the brass thing. -
I'l try to take a pic tomorrow. Mine is a '14 (Im assuming it's the same)
The breather hose should run from that brass fitting, down around the tank and into a little white plastic filter (the size of a mini pop can, shielded with a bent piece of tin held by 2 or 4 little bolts) on the lower inside of one of the tank straps -
Read a similar topic and someone suggested that maybe it's the chain from the fuel cap. The main tank lid doesn't have a chain on it anymore. Idk if it's in the tank or not. Got the truck used.
-
Would a rotated tank cause a level issue?
My main tain the fuel lid is at 12oclock the problem tank the fuel cap is in between 3 and 4 o clock
Would this cause the problem?
Need replies asap before I spend a hundred bucks
