fuel guage not working

Has anybody has this problem? All of the sudden my fuel guage keeps staying on low even though i have full tank of gas in my car. Everything else works. The speedometer, oil, and everything else work.s

Yes, many orgers like yourself have reported this problem. More than likely, the fuel level sender unit will need replacing to fix your problem.

do you have the custom face gauges? if you have the crappy egay gauges then it is probably sticking on the face gauge.
then again you could always do the "wetness level" check...i went to school with this guy, his fuel gauge was broken on his chevy. he kept a skinny broken broomstick in the back of his truck and whenever he thought he was getting low he'd just drop it down in there and look at the "wetness level" to determine how much gas he had. lol. probably still uses it.
