    i have a corolla big body and i'm having trouble with my fuel gauge. converted ang fuel tank ko since nag-swap ako ng engine from 2E to 4E-FE.

    gumagana naman ang fuel gauge, nasa F sha pag full tank and bumababa/tumataas naman ng maayos. ang problem is pag dating ng 1/4 level ng gas, nagsa-stuck na yung needle doon, kahit maubusan ka pa ng gas e nasa 1/4 parin ang needle. ano kaya problem nito? defective floater?

    the tank was changed to a smaller tank? if so baka pag dating sa 1/4 level. sumasayad na yung floater sa bottom ng tank. kay until 1/4 lang sa guage kahit ubos na gas sa tank.

    the tank wasn't changed sir, converted lang yung fuel pump from mechanical to electronic since swap engine from carb to EFI. ginamit parin yung dating tank and assembly but pinalitan yung fuel pump ng pang nissan na surplus.

    since normal operation from full to 1/4 baka may sinasabitan sa loob yung floater.

    hmm, cge, i'll try to check kung me sabit nga.

    pag tinanggal ko ba yung fuel pump assembly at ginalaw galaw ko yung floater kahit nakapatay engine, gagalaw din yung needle sa gauge?

    Dear Sirs:

    It surely is a sign of the times when it is not just our politicians and officials that lie to us - now we can't even trust our gauges to tell the truth.
