my gas meter twitches!

**lx24** · 06-25-2008, 05:27 PM

I recently put gas in my car and the meter starting twitching between 3/4 tank to 1/4, and it continued to do so for a couple of days, any ideas what is causing this??

Thats odd... ive noticed mine twitching a bit but i believe its because of a float in the tank that measures the amount. Correct me if Im wrong someone. Ive never experienced that much a jump though.

Every time my gas gauge gets to 1/4 of a tank it falls to empty and returns to 1/4 of a tank until i fill it up again. I have no idea why???????? Sorry I cant help buddy.

it has not done it since, float might have had some debris stuck in it!

Mine does the exact same thing as yours. It only starts when I'm at about 1/4 of a tank. It will go to empty and stay there until I fill up again. Weird
