On my trip back from Corpus Christi my gas gauge is not indicating correctly, shows 1/2 or 1/4 full after I've filled the tank...but the reserve light is operating correctly. I'm sure there's a thread on this but my search worked as well as my gas gauge

Ahh yes... the humidity down here absolutely kills the slider / float movement. I always have a clean spare on the shelf...
The easiest method I have found to restore functionality is a good overnight soaking in CLR. No need for disassembly. Just shake it lightly a few times to insure the free movement of the float. Good luck. |
