I have had a similar problem with my 1999 Chevrolet Venture. The best answer I was able to come up with is there may be a short in the electrical system. I would have a trained technician troubleshoot the problem. There are other possibilities, but this seems to be the most common. I couldn't afford to have it done right away, so I used my trip meter to calculate my fuel level. The next time you fill up, reset the trip meter. after 200-300 miles, fill the tank again. Devide the # of miles my the # of gallons you put into the van. This will give you an idea of the miles per gallon that you are actually getting. Track this for a few tanks and you will be able to predict when it is time to put fuel in the tank until you get the problem fixed. Hope this helps. Having same problem with my '02 Venture. Problem with mine is that the fuel level sending unit, located inside the gas tank, on the fuel pump assembly, is opening up. It

Hi, 95% of the time (or more), the problem you describe it caused by the Fuel Level Sensor, which is mounted on the fuel pump assembly. This assembly is mounted inside the fuel tank (at the top), so the tank will have to be drained and removed to replace the sensor. The 'good news' is that the sensor can often be replaced separately from the entire assembly, so it is possible to keep the cost down, at least a little. Good Luck, Greg
