1-3-2-4 Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 OK I had erratic readings on my fuel gauge I replaced both main and sub sensors.. SO the fuel gauge starts to go up to about 3/4 of a tank.. So I got a little curious because I almost did 60 miles at about a avg speed of 40 MPH (snow) and I'm like this in no way can be right.. so I went to put a full tank of fuel in and the car took 10 gal of fuel with the gauge showing 3/4.. So being as I replaced both fuel senders do I look at the gauge it's self now for maybe a screw that's not making good contact? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zangado1 Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 My 95 BK was having the same issues with the readings,i would fill the tank all the way up and it would only read 3/4 full but the car was sitting for long periods of time and not being used when this issue started. Now i have been using the car daily and for some reason the guage is now working again accurately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spooln30 Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 You should've checked the fuel sender before replacing it. You could have a bad gauge, which since you replaced the sender then I would say it is the gauge. Btw our fuel tanks holds a total of 15.9 gallons and when the low fuel light comes on there's a little over 3 gallons left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1-3-2-4 Posted February 10, 2013 Author Share Posted February 10, 2013 yeah it was the gauge it has some tarnish on it so I scuffed it up a bit, no big deal $158 loss for both left & right sides is no big deal, at least I don't have to worry about it for a long time.

spooln30 Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Now that I think about it I've never replaced a fuel sender or a pump on a Subaru. Well I have but they've been upgraded pumps. They along with the other Japanese cars have always used great quality pumps for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
