fuel guage
i know it's common on many svx's but is the fouling fuel guage caused by the guage itself or somewhare else?

I believe it's the sending unit.
Mine never had the problem though.

Do all SVX's have screwy fuel guages?
When the fuel guage on my '94 hits E, it takes 10.5 gallons to fill up. I know there's another 8 gallons in there. Yesterday I took the '92 garage queen in for it's first fill up. 10.5 gallons. What's up here? I didn't wait for any warning lights. Does it just sit on E for along time?

It has been surmised based on other Subaru products that the problem is corrosion in the sending unit. For many of us it falls in the too hard basket to really verify and fix.

Mine started out like that when I bought it. Over the next few fills I would go further and further until it started reading accurate. It's almost as though the sending unit needed to go through its entire range to recalibrate itself.
That's my answer and I'm sticking with it

Maybe it doesn't understand the U.S. gallon?
