After the finance filled the tank the other day this light came on the dash. Manual says ir was most likely the gas cap. I checked and it was tightened properly and the finance said she tightened it til it clicked. And the gas gauge took 3 days and 5 trips both long and shoart to register a full tank.

What year is your X? If you have a second gen (2005+) your FSU is on its way out. Mine has been bad since the fall, and I havent changed it as it takes a while for it to register after fill ups but ik ok when fuel level is going down.

I had that happen in 2005 and it was the O2 sensor that caused it. Since I needed to replace the timing belt and water pump, I had it all done at once.
It's not a huge deal to resolve, but make sure that you go to a shop that you trust to do the work. I didn't know any better at the time and ended up spending about $1200 for all of the work and, now that I know better, could have paid about $800 for the same work, including better parts and installed by people that I have more confidence in.
Get to autozone and have the codes read... that will tell you what's throwing the flag and give you a better idea of what needs to be addressed.

Yes it is a 2007 SE model Yesterday I actually had a half tank of gas and when I filled up it registered as empty for the first 150 miles and then registered as full.
I pass an autozone today so ill do it on my way to work and then give an update on it.
Thanks guys.

All the info I can find is that the recall was for the 06first and 08s. Ill call today. But on the other hand I was getting gas again yesterday and I decided I would completely remove the key from the ignition. When I started back up the needle pinged to the correct spot. When I started again after work the light was off. I am due for an oil change this week so ill have my mechanic check it out then.

Yeah, when it starts to go, it'll work sometimes and won't others. unfortunately, it'll only get worse

Turns out that Nissan added an extended warrantee on this part for 72000 miles!
