Fuel gauge stuck on 1/2
David, Thanks for your input. Last night when I filled I put in an
additive also, not the one that you mentioned and tonight when I hit
the key switch the gauge was working,registered a full tank.Nothing
like a good overnight soaking. So I hope that it is fixed and not
just one of those" always full tanks".
HAY wait a min. wouldnt everbody want one of those.HAHAHA
Anyway I think I will check my mileage to see if it is working or
not.Thanks again for your help. Tom 90 SP36 Alpharetta GA
