it seems like my fuel gauge only reads the top half of the tank because one day i was almost on empty and went to go fill up and it only took 7 somthing gallons. after that i started to pay attention and it goes down quite quick and when you put gas in it goes up very quick, ( usually 10 dollars for a half tank). what do you think could cause this?? Thanks.

Our guages are very innacurate.
For example:
At 3/4 tank, on the guage itself, I can put 6.5 gallons of gas into my gas tank. Yet, my gas tank holds 12.5 gallons of gas.
At 1/2 tank, on the guage, I can usually put about 9 gallons of gas into the tank.

do you have an aftermarket gas tank because stock tanks for the z-34 and euro is 16.5 gallons. do you thunk if the sending unit was replaced it would help? mabey when they get old they drift??92 Lumina euro 3.4 DOHC 139,XXX miles

Does your guage go past FULL when you fill it up? I know on my car, mine goes pretty far past FULL. When it finally gets down to FULL, I'm at ~3/4, and when it gets down to 3/4, I'm at ~1/2. When it gets down to 1/4, I know I only have alittle over a gallon left in the tank.-Brad-

mine dosnt really go past full, but i have thought about just driving it until it runs out to see how much is really left below empty, i have AAA so i could get gas. do you think a new sending unit would help at all??92 Lumina euro 3.4 DOHC 139,XXX miles
