Tom Dunn Posted June 16, 2005 Share Posted June 16, 2005 The fuel guage on my 91 Legacy is malfunctioning. When the tank is full, the guage works correctly until it reaches the 3/4 mark or so. Then, for awhile, it's most anywhere it wants to be, often plungeing past "empty", floating back up to a half, back to empty ect. Once the tank is down to about 1/4 full(estimated by the trip odometer) it seems to settle down and read accurately again as it heads for true empty. Not the biggest problem, I can drive with the trip od keeping track, but if theres a simple fix I'd sure like to make this right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesbaru Posted June 16, 2005 Share Posted June 16, 2005 This one is pretty common, my old wagon had it. I didn't bother to fix mine. I just hit the tripometer every time I refueled and kept track that way. Quite a few of the folks fixed theirs. Try hitting "search" for fuel gauge senders. Someone more computer literate than me will probably post a few links. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cougar Posted June 16, 2005 Share Posted June 16, 2005 Most problems like this are caused by dirty contacts on the sender units in the tank. Cleaning the contacts may fix this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
