Re: Wondering Fuel Guage

This wandering fuel level thing has been more of an annoyance since I got the car, but now that I commute 45 minutes every day over a mountain, its becoming more of an issue.

Mine will read full just fine, but once I get a little under, the gauge goes all over the place and down to under E until the car sits still, where the reading will usually settle to where the level is actually at.

Can anyone tell me if its easy or not, or even worth it.... to get to the fuel tank sending unit and attempt to clean the rheostat in an attempt to correct the fuel level read problem? Is there a write up on this?

Thanks fellas
