Thread: Gas Indicator issue

I'm having an issue with my gas hand. When I start my car the gas hand is where it should be, depending on how much gas I have in my car. Within a few seconds it proceeds to move up to "Full" and stays there. I never know how much gas I have in my car while driving. The only time it will move, other than when I start it, is when its getting close to empty and my low fuel light comes on. Also, I have had the gas hand move to empty and the low fuel light come on when I know the car is almost full.

Any ideas??

Thanks. I'll have to get the guy that works on my car to check that for me. I know his wife's Bonneville does the same thing.

This is a common problem with some GPs. It happened in my first GTP and I changed out the entire fuel pump assembly. But there is a guy from CGP that did a nice write up on changing out just the sending unit:
