Gas Gauge
 

Well my car was just about on empty, since i can't move it and drive it to the gas station. So I got my gas can and put five gallons in it. I put about 4 gallons in my car and saved one for my 4 wheeler. I turn the key to the on position and my gas gauge went really slow up to almost a guarter tank. I figured it usually goes up when you start it right? WELL when i started it i watched it go straight down to empty again. I let it run for a couple minutes and it only went back up a little. Is my gauge broken or is my car sucking gas like crazy? HELP!

more than likely the sending unit is bad. Very common in GM vehicles. That's exactly what my bravada did

thanks arch! how much do one of those cost?

new is $235 at advance. Your car do new it's a pain to change, and at it's age a used one may not last very long

forget that, i'll just put gas in it more often

lol fill up at a set milage

probly what i should do, thanks for the help again

I know on the bravada I played it pretty safe filling up by 200 miles

i think i get like 10 mpg seriously... do u know how big my tank is?

about 18 gallons I think

the owners manual should say

wish i had an owners manual all i got is a haynes

figure 18 and you should be safe

yah

im pretty sure its a 15 gallon tank... at e i usually put 11-12 gallons in... dna383 has the same car and after he had his tank BONE dry he put 14.5 gallons in it
