Gas light flashing

Hi, this is Bo, an auto expert on RepairPal's Car Genius team! A fuel warning light that flashes and then disappears on a full tank is usually pointing toward a fuel level sender issue rather than an actual fuel problem. On a vehicle of this vintage, the sender can get lazy causing it to send an incorrect reading momentarily before settling back to reality. A loose or corroded wiring connection to the sender can cause the same intermittent behavior. Since it goes away on its own it's not urgent but it will get worse over time and eventually give you inaccurate fuel readings when you actually need them. Addressing it now rather than later is the smart thing to do. Visit RepairPal.com to find a trusted shop in your area!
