Has anybody had experience with aftermarket or modifications to make the fuel sender/gauge accurate in these things? I've had my sender replaced, but when my tank gets below 1/2 full the gauge starts to bounce and is otherwise EXTREMELY innacurate. I've had this exact problem with 3 vehicles of the same year/model.
I have seen a lot like that. The usual reason is the grease has worn off the pin in the gauge. The grease acts like a dampener so the gauge isn't quite so fast.
I always check the half way point and when mine is working, (have voltage regulator issues) half is exactly half and 1/4 is sure close based on topping up volumes.
Then when it stops moving I tag the miles and drive it until I run out... with a full gas can on board eh. That tells me how far I can go when it gets really down to it. I have had some that have more than 50 miles left and some that had 0 miles, like mine now. When mine stops moving, I stop moving.
