Default Misreading gas guage



Another problem I have in my '97 MC LS is that my gas guage doesn't read the level of my tank once it gets down to half a tank. Once it gets down to half sometimes it will show me the level of the gas when I first start the car but it will then go between 1/2 and3/4 on the guage. I use my trip odometer to know when I need to fill up but it gets a little annoying. I had talked to some guy that was selling a new tank assembly and he said that there is some card in the assembly that is causing the problem. Anyone have experience with this problem?</P>


Thanks,</P>

Default Misreading gas guage

Gm has had problems with there gas guages for awhile, i wouldnt worry about it. The first time you have to price out that sending unit from gm and find out the $200 unit didnt fix the problem, filling up by the trip wont bother you nearly as much.FYI, in my cutlass ciera i just fill at 350-400 miles and my gas guage has read anywhere from empty to 5/8 full with very little gas in the tank.HTH
