Usually if you change something, and then something is wrong afterwards, you did something is wrong.

YoungLemon is right, change the fuel light back to a non-LED bulb. Problem solved.

It's pointless to change the fuel light to an LED, but that's just me. Hope this fixes it though.

Maybe. I believe all 6thgens have them though. Do you top off? I use to sometimes and my fuel light never seemed to work correctly or at all, but then when I stopped topping off it began working correctly again and has been since.

yeah you have to take out the led. the gas light functions by the voltage varying. LEDs can not fade on or off. they're either on or they arent.

Your needle probably isnt right. You probably only put about 13-14 gallons in, but your tank can hold 17. The gas light doesnt come on until I think there is less than 2 gallons left... Even though your needle reads "E" you still have plenty of gas left.
