Fuel Gauge Problem Hi there! I'm kinda new to this forum but for the past 2 months or so I had a lot of problems with my 'bird.
The issue:
Fuel Gauge drops when braking and cornering right. The drop is not as noticeable when i have a full tank of gas, but when I'm at half, and I brake hard it goes straight to E.
So far I did the following with no rate of success (in that order):
- Replaced 6 fuel sending units so far
- Replaced fuel pump
- Installed new fuel tank
- Check wiring for resistance drops
- Check instrument cluster
- Check the gauge itself in the instrument cluster
- Ran an aftermarket fuel gauge
Every time I run a computer diagnostic tool on the car it points out to the sending unit, but I did a check on the unit with a tank of water and it works like a charm.
Any other suggestions ?
Thanks in advance...

every f body i know does that i think it has to do with the shape of the tank, but if you think about it its really exact cause when it full it takes along time to get to the half way mark but from there on it is pretty on point.
