Back OT
I had a thought today (and I didn't even hurt myself), carburetors in the 70's and 80's started using a plastic 'foam' type float. It was cheap ($) and it was cheap (crap) - after a couple years the float would lose its ability to float and allow excess gas into the carburetor. OEMs have been using the same material for sending unit floats for some time now, mainly because they're cheap ($). I wonder if the floats in the SVX are doing the same, beginning to 'sink' and registering low fuel levels.
The reason I question this is because I don't recall this being an issue in my '92 when it was new. But it certainly is a problem in my '94 now. Maybe someday when I get good and bored I'll pull the floats out and replace them with some from another car (they occasionally come with new fuel pumps.)
