1999 Chevy Suburban. Dear JK: My Gas Gauge seems to not be working accurately.
At times, I can fill my tank and it reads less than eighth of tank or E.
Other times I know I am almost on empty and the gas gauge is showing
almost full. It seems to fluctuate tremendously even when I am driving.
Is there an easy fix to this?
JK:
That is a common problem with that, and similar vehicles. You need to have the "fuel level
sensor" replaced. That sensor is in the fuel tank, and attached to the fuel pump module.
The fuel tank will need to come out. Also, whoever does the repairs needs to look closely at
the wiring connector for the assembly. They also have a tendency to burn.
