    Thanks all for the input. Yeah, I always reset my ODO & use the gauge for a ball-park estimate. It's really pretty accurate when it gets down below 1/4... Thing is, it use to be rock solid & steady. Then one day, it got the floaties! (Like the baffles in the gas tank were removed... asssuming it has internal baffles... baffles me.)

    I just finally got tired of watching the needle bob around, and so I'm on the hunt now! I lived with the CEL for most of it's 211,000+ miles & I just recently got that to go away. (Or maybe it burned out?!) lol

    Anyway - Still looking for a solution. I'll have to maybe go on a ground strap hunt and see if that helps. In the meantime... If anyone needs a fuel sending unit, I have a spare that I could cut you a deal on!

    The dancing fuel guage is typical. I just consider it an added entertainment aspect of the VX.

    When Boy is driving it, I ask him if he needs gas. His usual response is no ... I've got 1/4, 1/2, 1/4, 1/2 tank.
