I have a 99 Redeo, 50K miles, no problems til now. The fuel gauge has gone beserk, the guage indicates a full tank for about 20 or 30 miles after completely filling the tank Suddendly the guage goes to zero and the flashing fuel pump light flashes on and off, this scares the heck out of you the first time you see this problem. I had it into the Isuzu dealer and he says there is a module that is bad, passes the indication from the sensor module in the opposite direction. The dealer doesn't have the module and says it is a 3 hour job to remove the fuel tank and replace the module, the dealer is to call when the part comes. I would surely appreciate any information from anyone with experience with this or a similiar problem. I am not looking forward to a 3 hour job of removing and replacing the fuel tank for the purpose of replacing the faulty indication if that is the problem. Labor is 80 bucks per hour. I suspect there is a bad electrical connection, or a bad float, other wise why would there be a normal indication of fuel level although it lasts for only minutes, seems to me that bad is bad now and for always. Seems we have an intermitten condition, Normal condition and then abnormal. Your thoughts and information would be appreciated. maybe the dealer is correct, They have only been servicing Isuzu's for two weeks having bought out the former Isuzu dealership Fred
