[DML] Re: Fuel Gage flops around

["David Teitelbaum" <jtrealty@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

It is common, especially for the origional sender unit. Always best to check your fuel level when the car is level and either stopped or moving at a constant velocity. For a more accurate estimation of fuel level you can cross-check against the trip odometer as long as you know your MPG and always reset it when you fill up.

When I move forward is shoots down, when I stop it shoots upward.  It jumps up and down a full 1/4 tank until settling. Is this normal?  In large trucks with huge gas tanks I've seen this but not in small cars.
