Lwin, share the knowledge! How do you reset the gauge? My SVX will read bone-dry empty unless there is 1/2 tank of fuel in it. It reads nearly full when really fuel and half full at 3/4. By the time it hits a half tank remaining is slams into the bottom pin and lays there. Thank God the low fuel light gauge works.
My Subie dealer told me I would have to replace the sending unit in the gas tank (simple job as long as there is less than a half tank of fuel in it) and that would resolve the issue. Do you think your recalibration would work on that or should I get a new sending unit then recalibrate for accuracy afterwards? Your recalibration trick does not sound like it would fix my issue. What do you think?

You can tell the lack of craftsmanship by the wrinkles in the duct tape.
