Re: Fuel Pump AND Fuel Guage Tank Mechanism

I finally got my engine swap going and NuMeRoUs problems when first running CURED by the Miracle Ground Wire FIX by Old Tom. Been taking my SVX to work.. like it better than my 8 mo old Hyundia Veloster.. Ha!

Well today I was reminded of another problem my car had.. namely, after the first fuel pump repair 5-6 yrs ago (?) .. the fuel gauge dint work.. and the car would run out of gas prematurely.. about the time the emerg gas light would go on! Specifically, when I come to a stop rather suddenly.. or turn left.. the engine runs outta gas! I was reminded this morning.. Ha!

BUT.. since installing the new fuel pump a week ago.. GUESS WHAT? .. The fuel gauge works now! So, at least I get a little warning..

Thanks, Jim

P.S. Wish I cudda fixed the early empty syndrome ??? BUT at least the gauge works ???
