E320 fuel gauge
Just had service d on my 03 e320. I have 40k on it, but it is 5 years old, so I elected to have the fuel filter and plugs replaced. The day I picked it up, and ever since (1 month), when I fill the tank, it is one bar short of full on the fuel gauge, which worked fine prior to service. Today on the way to work goes as follows: Start car, gauge = 1/4 tank, 20 miles later fuel light is on and three miles to empty. pull into work, figure I will get gas at lunch. Lunch time, get in car, gauge = 1/4 tank?????? Drive two blocks and no gas, dead in middle of busy street, gauge = 1/4 tank. Dump two gallons in tank, car starts up, gauge = 1/2 tank. Go fill up and again, one bar short of full. What could have happend with service to cause this??? Please help, more fun to drive than push.

RE: E320 fuel gauge
Just an update if anyone else has the same problem. There are two sending units for the fuel gauge. One is on the fuel pump on one side of the gas tank. The other, is on the fuel filter, which is what the tech replaced on my car that was giving me issues.
