'Intermittent' Fuel Gauge 700

posted by  someone claiming to be Frank on  Tue Jan 11 10:44 CST 2005 [RELATED]

...well while looking for the answers to my ABS Light question in the FAQ's section... I decided to also check on my intemittent fuel gauge 'issue'... Seems that it likes to work when it wants to work...which is more often not working...at least accurately that is...

I read 'somewhere' that there may be an additive that could possibly "clean" something in the fuel tank which aid's in preventing this intermittent condition... Is this just a bunch of "hooey" or what...? If so...what are my options on fixing this minor irritation...other than what I'm doing now...which is resetting my tripmeter at each tank fill up... which, by the way, I'm getting 23- 24 mpg...not bad for a brick with >263K miles on it...!

In advance, thanks again for all of your insights... I appreciate it...!

    Both of our 700s with intermittant fuel gauges had problems in the dash. When you snapped the guage with your finger, the guage would work.

    Right now both the fuel gauge and the temperature guage act this way in our '90 744 TI
