HELP !!! Fuel sinking .....
 

This may be a dumb quesiton. But what the ---- ..... Whenever I crush the throttle to the floor, my gas hand sinks .... and sinks ...... and sinks. BUT!! If I slow down, or change my rate of acceleration (i.e. slow down), it starts to rise again. Although I think it doesn't give me ALL of my fuel back. And thoughts? And no, it's not an oil leak. Already looked. Thanks.

It's magic... No need to know why it happens, we'll just say its magic...




Nah, maybe it's just splashing around in your tank and the float isn't getting an accurate enough reading. Thats my guess, but I'm not sure bro.

Yeah it's just gas splashing around. It happens to me when I go around corners or up/down hills.

Re:HELP !!! Fuel sinking .....
 

Hmm ...... but why would it be splashing around so much when it's full throttle. I mean my car buckles, but it doesn't tilt up and take off. Thanks for the suggestions.

Re:HELP !!! Fuel sinking .....
 

does it do it when only half full or less? Top that sucker RIGHT UP. Then try. If it still sinks then its not gas splashing around cuz there's no where to splash.

Re:HELP !!! Fuel sinking .....
 

So what if it's full, floored, and sinking? I'm not losing any power, but it still is ------- wierd. And plus, sometimes the gas that it shows I'm loking doesn't come back until I turn my car off and set there for like 2 hours, or it just doesn't come back at all. Thanks.

ok listen, Im trying to help you rule things out..

never answered my question, just acted like a smart ass..

I asked, does it do it EVEN WHEN ITS COMPLETELY FULL??

if YES then how can the damn fuel splash around in a tank.

go get a pop bottle. Fill it up half way and shake it. Now top it up COMPLETELY and shake, see what I mean????

YEESH.

I wasn't being a smart ass. Maybe you should read more, and think of 'witty' comebacks less. I appreciate ALL comments, useful or not. Thanks.
