Subject:      gas gauge off
Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed

hey all,
on my 87 syncro westy the gas gauge reads about a 1/4 low.  this is the
second tach i have had in there that reads that way.  heres the thing, the
tachs were both from  2wd vans.  is there a difference in syncro tachs and
2wd tachs?  the first 2wd tach i had in there it read 1/4 low, so i replaced
it with another 2wd tach.  the first week it read perfect so i thought i
fixed the problem.  but now today it started to read 1/4 low again.  is it
the tach or could my gas gauge sensor be going bad?  if it is the sensor,
does this eem like a common example of a bad one.  also, if it is the
sensor, how do i replace it?  do i have to pull the tank which, since this
is a syncro, would mean pull the engine?  this is a real annoying problem.
TIA
jason
