The gas gauge on my ssei is stupid. It reads full, then mostly full until I have maybe six gallons left, then it zips down to 1/2, then not too long after that it is down lower and putting on the little gas pump light.
I can't depend on it. It changes depending on the phase of the moon. I go by mileage.
Does anyone else have this particular problem?
Help !!!!

Well gee I was hoping you were going to tell me how to fix it heheh
I just set the trip meter, and make sure I gas up after 250 miles. That works well for me.
I am sure someone will tell us to replace the sender unit in the tank, but that looks like a real pain in the ***. The exhaust may be in the way. And it is all welded, of course.

If these cars are like the old GM'*, there is a sending unit in the gas tank that floats up or down depending on how much gas there is. It appears that your sending units might be bad.
While in there, you might as well replace the fuel pump...
