Sorry for the lack of info ok so i went to a gas station and had my tank 1/4 full and the fuel gauge was also 1/4 then i drove to my house it was only like 5meters away from the station and then the next day i saw my fuel gauge near the red line (almost empty) the keys are on the ON sign and then i turned on the engine the fuel gauge went to 1/2 mark and then i was just idling and testing my audio stuff for like 10 mins and then the next 4 hrs. it went back to the 1/4 mark. this just happens almost everytime.

thecityxignites Posted November 18, 2012 Report Share Posted November 18, 2012 It could be the gauges, or it could be a fuel sending unit. It has to be some where in the fuel delivery system. 2001 chevy cavalier Rebuild in progress what happens when your CD player skips and you accidentally drop a 22 hz sine bomb at an unholy volume on 7-8 year old subs? Mechanical failure floppy sub knockage on at least 2. well...as i see the level 6 is compared to a lamborghini.....but a corvette? i was thinking more like a chevy volt. its cute and new and "hip", but i would just rather stick my dick in a blender.........
