I've had a look at Ace answers and can only find one reference to fuel gauges and it doesn't seem to be quite the same problem. My fuel gauge needle keeps jumping all over the place and it's impossible to get a good idea of how much fuel is left. It appears that whatever dampens the needle movement isn't working so the gauge is registering the fuel being sloshed around in the tank. The low fuel light however does appear to be working correctly. What should I be looking for? Is the problem likely to be at the sender end or the gauge end and how easy is it to get to the fuel gauge?

Cheers.
Martin.

sometimes a bad earth...can cause that... or jus maybe the guage is default now.. so its up to u if you want to go thru emptying ur fuel tank and messn with it...
cus sometimes..it gets bit rusty and no matter how hard u try ....a new one new seals....jus dont fit properly and it leaks....so check it out see how good the tank is underneath..
