ok, now I am frustrated.

Paid my mechanic for an hour's labor to tie wrap the cables in the gas tank to allow my fuel indicator to work properly.

Before he did this, it would only read 3/4 of a tank when full, then fall as gas was used so I could at least see when to fill up.

Got it back from him, and went to fill up and enjoy the full tank indicator for the first time since owning the car a year... it stayed at 3/4. Grrr.

Got on the freeway and sat in the heaviest bumper to bumper traffic I've endured in a very long time... and at 95 degrees outside. I looked down and my fuel level was at full! Well, I thought it had finally kicked in. Good!

Today I drove around a couple of hours and put about 110 miles on this tank of gas and it's STILL at full. Grrr.

I am guessing I should just replace the sending unit. I think I'll call LA Dismantlers and see if I can buy one used. I don't want to pay $175 for this part. It's stupid.

Toolpants, do you have any pictures of accessing the fuel sending unit so I can see them and do this little job myself? I searched renntech and didn't find any, nor did I find any here.
