Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII"

For the first time in 11 yrs of driving I ran out of gas last week.  It
wasn't that bad-I called work and had them swing me over a gallon.

What does concern me tho is the gauge-it was reading above the empty mark but
below 1/4.  It was stuck in that same spot for like 20 miles.

Anyone run into this and have a good solution.  New sending unit needed?

This is my 7th VW over 20 years old and all of the others had perfectly
working fuel gauges....what gives?

Paul
