Miq=E2=80=99s hints are valid, but it should top out at 30 ohms, not 90.

Simple possible solution: poor grounding connection on the fuel sending =
unit, and the back of the instrument cluster.

slightly less simple: check the contacts on the resistor board (which =
if stock is right there in the cabin fuel tank with you), and check the =
ohms on the unit by pulling it out and moving the float. It should top =
out around 90 ohms.

Maybe just replace the fuel sending unit as a whole? I can't imagine =
that it is more than $50.

For 25 years my gas gauge has worked just fine. Now the needle shakes =
all the time, whether the motor is running or not. As long as the key =
is on. Any thoughts?

Thanks!
