fuel gauge fluctuation

[beereo]

i've noticed for the past few days that the fuel gauge of the car that i'm driving is defective. it seems to fluctuate from full to empty and back to full again while driving. i'm very worried kasi baka maubusan na lang ako ng gas sa daan without noticing it.

how will i be able to know the true fuel gauge level that my car has if this happens everyday? what repairs are needed in order to have it in good condition and how much will it cost? thank you very much in advance!

beerio,
what is the make, model, year of manufacture and mileage of your car? most fuel gauge sending units are ground type. this could mean that the wires leading to the sending unit between the instrument cluster and the fuel tank is intermittently grounding. another possibility is that the sending unit float keeps going up and down with the sloshing of the fuel everytime you accelerate or step on the brakes. check the former first

wiring connectors and harnesses are still wet giving you ghost electrical problems. unplug connectors and spray them with moisture removers like WD40 and pack suspected/involved connectors with petroleum jelly (vaseline) to prevent recurrence. lancer is mirage in the u.s. right?

^ baka na stuck iyong gas tank fuel level float.

There's Only one way to be sure - just have it checked.

Maybe you achieved a very high fuel economy during the trip. 60km will only cost you maybe about 3 liters or so of fuel (around 20km/L) driving a Mirage at continuous highway speeds.
