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.
