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

Chang knew the float wasn\u2019t behind this fuel truck issue since his conversation with the customer confirmed his test.<\/p>\n Evidence of an animal\u2019s presence was also in the vehicle, more specifically \u2014 a small squirrel. The customer can be heard off-screen saying he didn\u2019t think the squirrel would do that much truck damage since he caught the unwelcome guest a day after finding it.<\/p>\n Chang went back on-screen to describe the squirrel\u2019s damage: \u201cChased all the wires from the fuel sending unit, all the way to the side panels, up the kick panel, up to the side cluster \u2014 and then we led to the [instrument] cluster [where the fuel gauge sits].\u201d<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/24\/590x\/secondary\/4962440.jpg?r=1694801328490\")
