corolla 95 gas meter is dropping

[September08]

The gas meter indicator of my corolla drops (like gas is empty) when reaching "half" and indicator returns back to normal when reaching one-fourth.
What could be the problem?

the nickel-chromium wire used for the variable resistor has a cut usually from too much movement of the float when fuel sloshes.

Best guess is the floater in the tank. It either needs a cleaning or replacement.

the component is called fuel gauge sending unit assembly and usually a dealer item. you probably will find a used one, just make sure there is continuity from both ends of the resistive element. when you say floater, it usually means a dead body found on a river or the beach

Suking auto supply. Replacements cost less than 2k

Your fuel gauge sending unit (fuel tank float) has seen better days. It is best to change it with a new OEM one. Yung mga replacements kasi usually give inaccurate reading. I dont advise them to have it repaired as they become inaccurate.... The OEM commands a premium but it is accurate...
