92, TBI, Questions...

got a new 92 5.0 TBI RS, and was looking for some help....
The SES lite comes on, then goes off again when restarted again
This doesn't happen all the time tho,No handleing change or performance problems. Now i know the tank was changed out by a recall
but i think they put in a 20 gal. tank and not the 15.5 tank they also did the filler nek, when i fill it up it goes for nearly 125/150 miles before it starts to drop. Have tryed the jumper wire, but just keeps on flashing the SES code, No numbers
Shut it off again and it runs fines no light....
Anyone with any idea's...

Thanks for the imput, I've got a feeling this has something to do with the fuel tank, since it finally droped below 3/4's of a tank the lite has not come on. Just wondering if they kept the stock (15.5 gals) fuel sending unit in the tank, so the computer things its way over filled, thus triping the SES lite, then after in gets below 3/4 or so, no lite.......sound reasonable??
