## Discrepancy

WE HAVE HAD SEVERAL REPORTS OF LOW FUEL LIGHTS COMING ON OR FLICKERING WHEN THE FUEL TANKS ARE FILLED TO THE MAX.  THE FIX IS USUALLY REMOVING A FEW GALLONS OF FUEL FROM THE TANK.  WE HAVE HAD SEVERAL PROBLEMS WITH THESE FUEL TRANSMITTERS OVER THE YEARS BUT MFG HAS NOT COME UP WITH A BETTER TRANSMITTER.   S3852-1 AND -2
