Default Fuel Quantity Gauge

My Fuel Quantity Indicator is just crasy. The needle of my 94 Accord do not indicate the right quantity. Sometimes, the tank is full and my gauge shows an empty tank.

Someone have that problem before ???

Thanks

you may have a short somewhere but the fuel gauge runs off a buwee (sp?) right? if so then you have a wiring problem somewhere. you can always have it checked or buy an aftermarket gauge

Thanks for your comment,

However, I think it as something to do with the probe in the tank itself because the indication never goes off completly. I have sometime low fuel light on. Also, the needle never reach the "Full" line even when just fill the tank.

By the way, your logo at the end of your message is very cool !

The sender for that gauge is in the tank. On the 6th gen its mounted in with the fuel pump, maybe '94 is similar. There's a float on a lever. You get to it thru the floor of the trunk, there's a round cover you take off. Then you see the actual fuel tank, take off that next cover & pull the whole unit out of the gasoline. Try not to set it on fire when you do this...

I just saw another thread like this about 5th gen Accords on, ummm, another BB. I guess you have to drop the gas tank because when you open the access cover in the trunk, it doesn't line up with the pump/sender assembly. So it might not be as easy as I made it sound...
