My fuel gauge is insane!
I'm still on my first tank of gas since buying this 04 Envoy XUV. We filled it up on the way home. I've only put 189 miles on it since I filled it and when I go out and start it the low fuel light comes on.
I do need to drop the tank to properly fix the crack where the rollever valve sticks through the tank, already have the parts for that, but it's not leaking enough to toss a 442 code and there's no gas smell so either I'm getting less then 10 mpg or the gauge is reading wrong.
Also, after driving a few minutes the gauge goes up to 1/4 and the low fuel light goes out. A few more minutes and the gauge is reading 1/2.
Just a little bit ago as I was coming home from a 2.5 mile drive the gauge was reading just over 1/2. When I stopped in front of the house I watched it for about 10 seconds before shutting off the engine. The gauge went up to full for a few seconds then dropped down to just above empty and the low fuel light came on, while sitting still on a flat surface!
I ordered the sending unit and I'll swap it when I drop the tank. I do have a 5 gallon gas can strapped in the back with 3 gallons in it.
If I unhook the fuel filter and turn the key on will it pump all the gas out of the tank?
