not sure where to post this . . .
My new problem is that whenever I fill up my gas tank, the gauge only goes up to a little over 3/4 of a tank-am I screwed because the only thing I can think of is that the meter-reader thing inside the gas tank keeps getting stuck . ..I have no clue
any suggestions . .. .
thanks

 

you might need a new sending unit...

 

Usually, that is the sender unit.

 

what is a sending unit, sorry!
where is it located, and how much do they go for?

 

its inside the gas tank, usually you have to take off the muffler, drop the rear end, and then drop the gas tank.

 

i paid $45 for mine, used from a salvage yard.

edit: the other possiblility is that your actual gauge is broken, i highly doubt it though

 

i would recommend just living with it. its going to cost you a lot of money to have it done or a lot of time to do it yourself.

 

wow, that sounds like a lot of work just for that! i might just deal w/ it-don't want to, but might just have to
