My gas gauge tends to change going up hills or turning certain ways, I guess it might be normal but I'd thought I'd ask. Tonight it was jumping between 1/2 adn 1/4 of a tank.

i just bought my camaro and it does it too, even when just accelerating on a flat road while underway. its probably just the sensor or whatever moving with the gas in the tank/-Justin-<br />Red 1996 Camaro RS- Wrecked 11-1-03...<br /><br />1991 Camaro RS -
Thier is a gas gauge that is kind of like a floating balast (not the correct spelling) that measures the level of fuel in the tank. It's normal for your gauge it fluctuate to some degree depending on whether or not your going up hill/down or stopping hard or accelerating hard. The gas goes back and forth with the sensor. Different cars have the sensor placed in different places in the tank.

The tank is also V shaped so at 1/2 tank there is actually less than that. This also causes the gauge to go very quick bewteen 1/4 and empty.1995 Pontiac Firebird 3.4L <br />TA front bumper, TA rear bumper, 98-02 Honeycomb tailights, GM Ram Air hood, 2k C5 18X9.5 Corvette rims all the way around, custom autoloc shaved handles, camaro two tone interior, silver badging, clear front marker lenses, RK sport headers, gutted cat, dynomax dual exhaust, Rear disc rearend, Richmond 3.73 gears, Zexel torsen LSD, Cross drilled front rotors, 2 12\" MTX thunder 8000s, Clarion 400W amp, MTX 5 1/4 <br />Components, thunder 4262 amp, pioneer head unit, Hypertech power programmer (Yes it does exist)Comment
