Faulty Fuel Gauge
Ok, so, my fuel guage is acting up. No matter how far I drive, it stays between 3/4 and full. Would disconnecting the battery fix this, or is there some part I need to replace?

Hate to say this but the same thing happened to two guys I know, in both cases it was the sending unit inside the tank. One car was a '98 and the other a '00. I hope I'm wrong...

I am sort of having a issue with mine in my LT1 I take a turn and the gauge moves with the turn I take either Left or right, but my LS1 doesnt do this. What can this be then?

Mine does the same thing, except it reads empty 75% of the time, the rest of the time it reads something possibly correct. But most of the time it reads empty.... I hate that so much.

so we have a bunch of people with the same problem.. nice.. any solutions... I'm gonna be cutting an access hatch to my fuel pump sometime in my current project to see if its the sending unit or float is stuck or something.
You'd think with so many people having this problem someone would know the solution.

i'm wondering the same thing because this just happened to me today. I'm going to buy a can of seafoam when I get off to pour in it to see if it just so happens to help...I've never had to change the fuel pump in my car, or in any other f-body, but i've heard you have to drop the axle in order to get to it...
