**Help**87 hatch fuel level gauge
Ok, recently I have noticed that after filling up (gauge reads full) the needle takes forever to get to half a tank and once getting there the little dummy light comes on.
Now it gets goofy. Gas light will come on, go off again and again. THEN,,as I drive the needle will go back up to full again. I finally said heck with it and kept going to see if it would go below half tank. It did, but I dont have much faith in this gauge.
I know the gauge works on electrical resistance, but is this "issue" fixable or should I just get a new gauge?

your sending unit may have a bad ground or just may be going out. corrosion can do crazy things to wire connections, i see it everday here in korea. a lot of our gas turbine generators go on the fritz sometimes.
