03 OBW gas-gauge nuttiness

Featured Replies

I've serached and found that '90s subies tend to have a nutty gas guage issue (corrosion), did that also occurr in later years?

 

My fuel gauge sometimes reads 1/2-tank low, sometimes its OK though.

Hi. AFIAK it is sometimes sulfur buildup on the sending unit. Some people report good results with a couple stiff doses of Techron. I've been using Lucas UCL and Redline SI and I have no fuel gauge issues in any of 3 soobs so I'm not sure.

I need to give the whole fuel system a good stiff cleaning- my mileage is not what it should be (yet to break 24), supposedly the dlr put new plugs in it before I bought it (they did the 60k service).

 

I'm going to reset the computer, too.
