Just curious how people’s Tahoe’s read when parked on a incline or decline, mine seems to read more when on a decline / down hill. Seeing if that’s the norm.

Well, which end of the tank has the fuel pump and gauge?

In the GMT900 like mine it’s in the rear. I expect your generation is the same.

I can tell you, my 08 would suck air and not start if you parked it nose down with only a few gallons left. Had to have it pulled backwards a few feet until it was level before it would fire up.

Mine seems like it’s more towards the back leftish area which is why I thought how mine read was weird

Mine used to read empty if I parked slightly uphill, and full downhill. That was before i replaced the fuel pump and evap system, now it reads the same either way
