(Page 4) UBBFriend: Email this page to someone!   This topic comprises 4 pages: 1  2  3  4    Author Topic: Fuel gauge ??? Chewy Full Throttle Member Member # 2184 posted                        If I remember right, the "disappearing gas" happens when one of the tank levels goes 'out of range' for what the computer is expecting, so it defaults to empty until an acceptable value shows up. GM put out a program "fix" to stop the gauge from suddenly dropping. IMO it should be free at any dealer, but they're the only ones who can really give you a price. The Techron just cleans deposits off of the sensor so your computer is always getting a signal that's in the proper range.

Techron has seemed to correct the problem.

Anyone ever experience a stall during this problem? I haven't yet, but have added the Techron twice and still experience the problem when the level reaches about 1/4. I might try the GM stuff and see if that works. -------------------- 2001 Corvette Convertible, Navy Blue Metalic, Grey Interior, White Top, Automatic, Z51, Performance Axle Ratio 3:15, Borla X Pipe, Borla Quad 4" Stingers, K & N, and all the bells and whistles. 2003 Ford Thunderbird Convertible, White, Black Hard top, Red/Black Interior Posts: 713 | From: South Florida | Registered: Jan 2007  |  IP: Logged |    This topic comprises 4 pages: 1  2  3  4    Quick Reply Message: HTML is not enabled.
