- I am perplexed by a fluctuating fuel gauge. (reads okay sometimes, way off othertimes) I have used the (in)famous dip stick method to verify "full," "half-full," and "almost empty." It's a '77 1500

- A poor (i.e. corroded) electrical connection, probably at the sender unit. Probably worth about $.007. -- Jim Muller jimmuller@pop.rcn.com '80 Spitfire, '70 GT6+

- I agree, Sounds like the wire may be broken. Not broken in two, just enough to cause a problem. If you give each wire a tug or a wiggle at each connection while watching the gauge you will find the

- When it's off, is it consistently off in one direction or the other ? Well, that would seem to leave either the voltage stabilizer (does your temp gauge behave when the fuel gauge doesn't ?), wiring

- Another thought: how is the temperature gauge reading? By chance, does it fluctuate in a similar way? Perhaps the voltage stabiliser is at fault? -Andy Mace __________________________________ The New
