the gas light still works, so thankfully i know when i need to get gas, but its annoying that when i fill up the gas needle moves fine untill a little above half a tank and then it just sits there.. does anyone have any ideas?
the only one i have is that when i did the fuel pump for my swap maybe the sending lever thing got messed up.. but i dont know.. thanks guys |

haha i know all about not having a working gas needle, mines the same way but its because i broke mine off doing the indiglo gauges... thank god for a gas light, and the fact that it comes on 3 gallons early!

Erg, my old car had the exact same problem.... I filled my gas tank and drove until I ran out of gas just to see what my tank milage was, we have lots of hills here so once I ran out I just coasted in neutral to the next station. Once I knew the milage, I would reset the little odometer every time I got gas and just watch my milage...my gas light didn't work, so that was my best bet.
