I am finally sick of dealing with a fuel guage that is telling me one thing when I know my tank has a completely different amount of fuel in it and I am stuck as to what is causing it...
My gauge works, but only for the first 6-8 gallons. For the first 4 gallons of use it stays pinged out above full and then it just steadily drops mile by mile and after about 6-8 gallons of use it is on empty. My problem is that I have a 13 gallon tank. I have a brand new sending unit, new wiring, and have made sure everything is getting the power it needs but I am just completely lost as to how I fix this issue.
Could it be the actual gauge busted even though it works from E to F? If so, what causes this and is it something that can be fixed or do I have to go ahead and start looking for a new fuel gauge.
Thanks,
Spencer
