Malfunctionning gas indicator was low on

Check engine light comes on with faulty oxygen sensor, loose gas cap or faulty gas cap. sometimes with low octane fuel as well. fill up with high octane fuel, tighten down the cap and see if it helps.

Glad I am in Florida,but that does not help you!! You need to have the codes pulled to see whats going on. The light being on means the ecm has detected a fault. Hope this helps, Bill

clean the ground to the body at the battery.

I am going to paste a list of potential causes for a p0460. There is a cure for a dirty reader card and Ford recommends CHEVRON TECHRON fuel system cleaner. Run tank low, put in cleaner, use best gas you can find,avoid your frequent brand.

P0460 - Fuel Level Sensor Circuit Malfunction The PCM monitors the fuel level input (FLI) circuit for electrical failure. The test fails when the signal moves outside the minimum or maximum allowable calibrated parameters for a specified fuel fill percentage in the fuel tank. Empty fuel tank
Fuel pump (FP) module stuck open
Incorrectly installed fuel gauge
Damaged instrument cluster
CASE GND circuit open
FLI shorted to VPWR
Damaged PCM
Overfilled fuel tank
Fuel pump (FP) module stuck closed
Damaged fuel gauge
FLI circuit open
FLI circuit shorted to CASE GND or PWR GND
CSE GND shorted to VPWR
Monitor FLI PID and FLI V PID in key ON engine RUNNING. FLI PID at 25% fill (with non matching fuel gauge) and FLI V PID less than 0.90 volts [for FLI PID at 75% fill (with non matching fuel gauge) and FLI V PID greater than 2.45 volts] indicates a hard fault.

Your fuel pump float is malfunctioning

If you have ANY DAMP SURFACE AT ALL on that Tank You DO Have a Leak and it Must be Found,
The Steal Fuel Lines around the tank Get Rusty and Leak You must ELIMINATE Any POSSIBLE Leak, as this can Turn into A Tragidy.

their are several possibilities sending unit is malfunctioning or a short in the wires, if 2006 is it not still under warranty?

did check engine light come on? if so have codes checked there are many things that could cause this issue, cam sensor, could be one issue

Are you over filling and is your gas cap tighten fully to where if it is loose it will throw a code.Your fuelsystem is pressurize and if your fuel cap is loose it will not perform correctly..Or if your over filling the tank that could also cause that problem..
