fuel gauge

[Jungle28]

anybody got any ideas as to why the petrol gauge keeps going up and down
as you are driving or even just idling??
Seems to have a mind of it's own sometines, 1/4 of tank then 1/2???

Get it checked by an auto elec tech.

if its an AU the coating on the senders would come off and affect the reading of the gauge

My EB has the same problem. Same with a couple which i had test driven when I was looking for a car. They all fluctuated. Could it be just on this model it always had this problem?

Also it is the reason why I didn't hook the gas gauge on the petrol one, as it plays too much.
