Re: fuel gauge problem
Sounds to me like its the fuel sender.......the damn things just go bad too. You will have to drop the tank to replace it, but that would be the first thing i would do.

Re: fuel gauge problem
Yeah that is what I would bet on too.

I replaced mine when I put the new tank in my Fox... I think that the sending unit was about $85.
