Default PO463 Code

Well. I DTC the code that my car is throwing off, It is a fuel sensor code I think....PO463...can anyone collaborrate and also what can fix this....The dealer told me to use chevron Techron to fix......today I put it in...but it is still showing as gas tank empty and throwing this code.....do I need to worry...or shoudl this problem be fixed with the cleaner....if the cleaner does not work what will ford do>> replace what..it says it is from a high PCM input according to reading the code...the dealer stated sulfur deposits....and techron will repair....I guess time will tell....any insight will be very helpful

P0463 Fuel Level Sensor Circuit High Input is the official explanation of the code..is this simply sulfur or larger issues....again any input very helpful...currently running Techron through..but if that does not work what should dealer do next..

Ford added a solution to my gas tank and the problem was solved. This is common.

Dunno if it's the same thing, but I've had the problem where an aggressive turn throws off the fuel guage sensor into reading just barely above empty. I took it into Ford for the tsb and they claimed to have fixed it, but it still does it anyways. I generally just take her sideways the opposite way and it fixes it, or I try and see if I can go negative in the "Miles until empty" readout (but it never does ).

I haven't noticed Techron fixing it.
