Gas guage
My gas guage recently started to go way past full when full what causes this seems to work fine other wise.
Also does this mean it will be empty at quarter tank mark? Thanks

Mine reads about half full when it is completely full. What would cause this?

Fuel gage senders
Incorrect dash gage readings are mostly caused by... poor body or fuel tank grounds... poor connections to sender,,
tank unit is bent, coming apart, or float is becoming filled with fuel. Float in tank can fill with fuel or just become saturated with fuel and gage will not indicate tank capacity. A quick test to check dash gage is to ground sender wire. Dash gage should indicate full or over full....
