Driving home today my fuel guage slowley started to fall towards Empty. Eventually i got the Empty/fuel low light, and it went below. Is there a fuse that could cause this, or is it just the sender inside the fuel tank gone bad?? the car was half way between 1/2 and .25 tank with 3.7 gal. of gas left. Filled up and still read Empty.

 

There is a float on the fuel sending unit. It has a connection that varries voltage to indicate fuel level. Yours is broken.

 

got cha. i though that could have been the problem. just thought it was prob. a fuse for an easy fix. and i just removed the fuel pump and stuff 2 weeks ago

 

problems. . .

 

back then the car wouldnt start, but i figured it out. no big deal.

 

so where do you buy the fuel sending unit?? I have a friend that his gauge works fine until it hits a 1/8 of a tank and then doesn't go any lower after that ??? He has no clue what the problem could be.

 

:Facepalm: The floater piece wasn't clipped in on the back side. a cm makes a big difference I guess lol.
