Maybe the sender arm thingy needs work, but I'll tackle that when I eventually drop the tank and have everything cleaned. Until then I rely mainly on the trip odometer, I seem to get a consistent 360 miles to the tankfull. (also my fuel pump buzzes when I'm really low, kinda built in warning device)
