Inaccurate Fuel Gauge?
Hey guys. New here. Not much of a car guy but here goes.
Bought a 92 LS400 secondhand. Approx. 6300 miles. So the guy says that the fuel gauge is inaccurate around quarter tank so I should fill up around half tank if I dont want to be stuck somewhere.
I've tested the limits of this. And around quarter tank it starts sputtering like it wants to Die. And it actually stalled on me.
I suspect there's more in the tank because when I fill up I click at around 14 galls. And the most I've gotten out of a tank before it reaches the quarter mark is about 250 miles and thats with conservative driving (no high revving)
Any help is much appreciated !
