This technician, William Chang, filmed the car\u2019s issue in his Santa Fe Springs, California, shop, Concept 3 Performance. Chang said: \u201cThis is a very interesting \u2018customer states.\u2019<\/p>\n
\u201cWell, [the] customer states that he got into his truck one day and his fuel gauge says empty.\u201d Chang noted in his TikTok that the customer originally thought he had a bad float \u2014 a device that communicates how much gas is in a tank.\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n
But Chang removed and performed a resistance test on the float, registering a .231 rating \u2014 a figure that represents around half a tank of gas.\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n
