Post by fattycrack » Sun May 23, 2010 7:07 pm

ohkkk soo my gas gauge is bein a little effer and reading lower fuel whenever i start moving and when i stop it reads more. i kno its because the gas sloshing around in the tank but it annoys me cuz it shouldnt do that and i want it to stop any ideas of what it could be?

Try rotating the FP module in the tank. May be it is at an angle that the sloshing fuel affects it more. Other than that, IDK if there is any kind of baffle in there that may have come loose. Normally the gauge is delayed enough, sloshing doesn't affect the needle movement.
