97 Escort's fuel gauge goes down when car is off...HELP

When you drive, the fuel sloshes around, making accurate measurement difficult. To counteract this, the fuel gauge will react to change very slowly. As you drive, a higher peak level is seen. After car is off, a new lower level will be displayed and the fuel is not sloshing around. I have seen this same thing in several cars.

Now when I turn the key off on the Granada/Sovereign/PTCruiser the fuel guages all read zero after a few minutes.

Are you actually expecting a reading all the time? if so then maybe the alternator is overcharging or the battery is getting tired. As long as it ain't leaking and you're not losing fuel then it's not costing you owt

lmfao more foctard advice

you retard there is an anti slosh module

it is prolly a normal condition

hurc ast

When you turn off the key, the power is disconnected to the gauges and the gauge will fall to empty.

now lemme guess hurc arse,,,
