Guys please help on this. Ung fuel gauge ng pickup ko paiba-iba ng reading. Bahagya lang naman, kapag umaandar, bumababa ang reading tapos at idle babalik sa dati. Ano kaya ang problem? How much would it cost me? :confused:

July 29th, 2003 11:45 AM #3usually normal yan... especially on old cars.. but it wouldnt hurt to check kung ayos pa yung fuel sending unit mo. Or baka grounding lang ang problema nyan.. (or at least these are the things we check out, pag may problema sa fuel gauge ng mbs na luma.)

Mahal po ba ang repair nito and kaya po ba ng mga ordinary repair shops ito like servitek and the like?

July 29th, 2003 02:32 PM #5how big a dip does it do whenever you start rolling from a stop??.. kung gaguhit lang... wala kang dapat ikabahala... as this may only mean na may shift sa diesel level inside your tank and the sending unit is basically intrepreting this "properly".. pero kugn fluctuating sya for like 1/4 ang difference when moving forward and hard braking.. then we might have to look into a possibility na faulty nga ang sending unit. I dunno kung kaya ng servitek.. but i would think so..

Mga 1 cm lang naman kapag umaandar na ang sasakyan. When I come to a halt and in idle, ayun babalik sa dati.
At the same time, parang ang bilis maubos ng crudo ko. Dyou think this is related? Hindi na rin kasi ako nagpapalit ng fuel filter. 10thou kms na ang tinakbo ulit nitong current fuel filter ko. Do I need to have it replaced? Salamas!

July 29th, 2003 04:18 PM #7hmm.. napahanap pa ako ng ruler tuloy at tinignan yung 1cm... ehehe...hmm... almost 1/4 ng gauge if you ask me ang galaw ah...
1) maybe the gauge itself is faulty
2) maybe the fuel sending itself is the culprit (floater type ba yan?)
3)Yung sa crudo... may not be related.. gaano kabilis maubos?? wala ka naman visible leaks? hows your combustion? (usok sa tambutso?)
IMO lang.. kung ang reading ng fuel tank mo e tama naman at standstill... just live with it na lang...

July 29th, 2003 04:45 PM #8HBOY,
Pasado naman ako sa emissions testing last registration. ABout the leaks, mahirap yata matukoy kung meron man.
Yung reading goes back naman at idle kaya alam ko kung may diesel pa ako. Nakakainis!!, may ipapaayos nanaman ako.
How much po ba does this repair usually cost? Kung pick-up, does this mean that they have to remove pa the bed to access the fuel tank?

July 29th, 2003 05:28 PM #10what car?
a toyota for example, brand new orig FUEL GAUGE SENDING UNIT (FLOATER) costs 1,5++.. i.e, kung floater ang sira mo.
have you tried removing the gauge ang inspecting the screws that holds the FUEL GAUGE meter itself?
ganito naging problema ko.. screw lang pala problema.. maluwag.
hth.

July 29th, 2003 11:20 PM #12yun sa car ko pag nasa 1/4 na lang ang level ganyan din, naglalaro. minsan kala mo lapit ka na maubusan ng gas kasi 5 bulbol na lang, tapos tataas ulit sa 1/4. pero 1/4 to full ok naman siya. pero kabisado ko na, yung 1/4 ko eh actually almost 1/2 pa. galing ako minsan Zambales less than 1/4 yung tank, dating ako Quezon City (distance 157 km) may 3 bulbol pa hehehe! tapos pa-full tank ako bago umuwi, 30 liters kinarga so meron pa pala 10 liters sa tank. parang engot talaga yung gage ko, empty to 1/4 mga 20 liters laman (must be the reserve 4 liters in the tank), 1/4 to 3/4 parang 5 liters lang, tapos 3/4 to full tank 15 liters or more. kaya pag between 1/4 to 3/4 ang reading nya di ako harurot at ang bilis bumaba eh! takot lang ako pag nasa Manila at baka maipit sa trapik, kaya pag nasa metro manila 1/2 pa lang pa-full tank na ako at nasa 8-9km/liter lang ang takbo. pag nasa probinsya, 16+km/liter mileage ko so no worries, kahit 10 liters na lang aabot pa ako ng Manila (huwag lang maipit ng trapik sa NLEX!)

July 30th, 2003 07:57 AM #13Ipapagawa ko ngayon sa caltex ang fuel gauge ko. Ipapalinis ko ang tank then papapalitan ang floater. Question: Maselang trabaho po ba ito? Baka kasi lalong masira...ibababa daw ang tank eh.

July 30th, 2003 10:18 AM #14hindi, kahit ikaw kaya mo gawin yan eh. just don't smoke while you're cleaning the tank, KABOOM! ka dyan hehehe!
1 liter of gasoline in vapor form mixed with air in the right proportion = 20 sticks of dynamite. a 40 liter tank, empty, with even just 1 teaspoon of vaporized gasoline and mixed with air is equal to 1 anti-personnel grenade. so is the butane lighter you carry in your pocket, a full lighter has potential energy equal to 1 grenade.
so hindi maselan, delikado lang.
