Re: repairing OEM fuel sender & Tankzilla

Don't be so disappointed! Watch the fuel gauge in your daily driver 
when you accelerate, turn, and brake. The only time it is close to 
accurate is either when you are parked or travelling straight for a 
period of time on a LEVEL road. Also I have noticed on many cars the 
fuel gauge is not calibrated to operate lineraly i.e. it stay on full 
way too long ang then when it does start moving it drops like a rock. 
I guess they try to fool you into believing it isn't using so much 
fuel most of the time. The best thing to do is crosscheck against the 
trip odometer and know the average fuel consumption. $300 is a lot for 
a working fuel gauge but at least it isn't critical for safety. This 
is something you can save up for after you spend all your money on the 
other more required repairs like the cooling system and the brakes. No 
one buys a Delorean because they are cheap to maintain and repair!!!!
Just imagine what the bill would come to if you took your daily driver 
into the dealer to fix a bad fuel level indicater. After his $70/ hour 
rate, the obscene list prices on the parts, and the week it takes to 
get parts you won't come out any cheaper. At least this can be done on 
a "D" without dropping the tank!!!!!
