Hey guys, I have a 2020 Ram 2500 and the fuel gauge doesn't seem to be close to accurate. I have the 50 gallon tank option and if I put gas in at 3/4 tank it will take 19 gallons, should be about 12 or 13. I have brought it to 2 dealerships and they just say that the gauge and the dash display are the same so it must be accurate. Any input will help.

The first half of a tank is usually always larger then you think,as you have to burn some fuel off before the float actually starts to move down and register on the dashes fuel gauge. I'd say it's working fine,you'll just have to keep that in mind as the gauge will probably move faster once the tank starts to get farther down.
