Nissan Murano Fuel Level Sensor Issue (P0463)

There is a common issue with the fuel level sender units in Nissan vehicles. The trends are that the senders start failing before the 100k miles; that is actually way below the fuel pump life expectancy, which is around 200k miles. If your vehicle still is under warranty, it is advised to take your car to your Nissan dealer and fix it usually at no cost; also, you can research online to see if there are some recalls in your vehicle.The advantage of doing this is that you will receive a new fuel pump.
