Rollerball Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 So when I fill up my gas tank the gauge registers and usually indicated about 7/8 's full. Within about 50 miles are so it's buried on empty. Interesting enough though when I get to about 2 gallons left, or at least I'm guessing due to gauge inaccuracy the the low fuel tank light illuminates orange. My guess is a bad fuel sending unit? Thoughts, suggestions? Rollerball Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cougar Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 The contacts on the sensors get corrodid and cause problems like that. There could also be a bad connnection somewhere. Chances are the sensor contacts are bad. Sometimes using a cleaning product like Techron gets things working again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomRhere Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 Ok, not sure on where the electrical connections are on anything other than a BRAT. But,,, Check your connections at the sending unit, you may find them corroded... Have had that same issue you describe happen on a few of mine.. On the BRAT's, they are located on the back of the tank, other EA81's could be in the same area.. I can't say for sure, as I've only owned BRAT's..
