gas gauge not consistent

[sobutter]

hey guys, my gas guage is really inconsistent in my 1g. one day i could be at a half tank, then the next i could be almost at the E, then the next day i could be back up at the half tank mark.. does anyone know how to fix this? thanks

yeah, pull the float out of the tank, its either old which I am sure its factory, that little metal arm in there that holds the float can rust after awhile, the float can become saturated with fluid or you have got some kinda nasty build up on it. So take some time pull the thing out, inspect it, try and clean it with a wire brush and some cleaner. If it swings easier than there ya go, if not you get ot spend some money to fix it.

For one of those reason your float is hanging up throwing off your gauge.
hope it helps
