The fuel level sensor in the fuel tank may fail causing erratic fuel gauge operation. Our technicians tell us that on high mileage vehicles you may wish to replace the complete fuel pump module assembly if this condition occurs.

Gauge reads full, then drops to empty, then back to full every 4 or 5 minutes when traveling. Doesn't matter whether there are 3 gallons of gas or a recently filled tank. Haven't found a solution yet.

Fuel gauge hasn't worked for years. I just keep track of my mileage.
The problem was somewhat fixed by replacement of the fuel injection system.
The gauge still isn't totally accurate. Also the low fuel lite comes on when parked in a downhill position.Flag ThisLike0 -
