When I am low on gas, if I turn hard right, my car begins to studder like it'* going to kill on me. I'm not really sure how big my tank is supposed to be, but it starts to do that when I'm about 12gal down. Also the gas gauge fluctuates alot.
Any ideas? Thanks.

my 90 lesabre likes to do that also...Thats why i always kept a full tank..never had an issue otherwise...if the car runs fine id have to say some of the baffling in the gas tank is broken and allowing your fuel to move all the way to the left of the tank away from the pump...just a guess......

Yea, I always figured a baffle prob. My book says it'* an 18 gallon tank, but I've never put more than 15 in it. I usually fill up at 240 which is about 12 gallons. The car I had before was a 99 lumina that the fuel gauge would stop going down at about 2/5 of the tank, so I'm used to watching the odo.
