I had a similar problem with a previous MH that I had.It was a 1989 Falcon on a Ford E350 with a 460 engine. On a trip in Canada I had to take a ferry to my destination and loaded the MH onboard. This was shortly after I purposely filled both tanks with gas. When we got to. our destination, I got back into the rv and found one of the gas tanks reading empty. Thinking someone siphoned the gas out of that tank, I went to a filling station and tried to put more gas in but could only do about a gallon. So, weeks later, after I got back home, I dropped the tank and pulled out the sending unit and found that the brass float had developed a hole and was allowing gas inside to a point where it was no longer floating! The float was replaceable and I was shocked that the Ford dealer had one and it was only about $10. Worked perfectly afterward.
