Gas guage quirkiness...
Just wondering if anyone has had a similar problem with the gas guage. I fill my tank, needle shows full. Everything is normal until around half a tank, as soon as my gas level reaches this magic point, the needle plummets (quickly) to empty or near empty. As I continue to drive it goes up very slowly, but never goes higher that quarter tank. Very odd and very annoying.
It happened today on the way back from a 300 mile round trip, I got there on quarter tank, and about a half hour from home, I hit just above half-tank. The needle took a nose dive to empty. I know the gas didn't actually go down that fast.
Any ideas? Problem with the guage, or however the level is measured (floater system or something? no idea)
Thanks
