    hey all my petty gauge changes all the time when driving from empety to about a 1/4 and never more (doesnt matter how much i put in), and it does this up and down continuosly. i only know when to put fuel in cause the light comes on for like 3 seconds so i fuel up whenever the light comes on, annoying.

    has anyone had this drama, any help would be appreciated.
    if i was to get a new fuel sender could i just get a corrolla one??
    or anyone know where fuel senders are??
    thanks.

    Mine does the same thing but I haven't had time to fix it yet (other stuff to do first) AutObarn sell a fuel gauge (with the regulator) from Haigh for approx. $55.
    Oh, and my fuel light is always on.

    Cheers

    Pull the fuel sender out of the tank and bend the slider thing so it makes proper contact all the way along.

    Mines all over the place too, It would have to do somethng with the sender.

    Must be a common thing..
