Default has anyone had this problem?

OK so my 91 cb seems like it has a fuel delivery issue going around right hand on or off ramps the gas has drops dramatically. When coming to an abrupt stop it drops. Is it something in the tank or a regulator issue. Please help if you can

Sometimes when I'm low on gas I have troubles starting my car, just due to the fact that the pickup isn't reaching the fuel. Fuel tanks suck on our Accords because you actually have to remove them to get to the sending unit. Do you have a full tank of gas? lol

My EE Wagon has fuel cut issues on hard left turns when Im under 1/3 tank. No baffles ftl. Clean your tank, fuel lines and fuel pump sock just for *****, and keep gas in her.

OP- is this just an issue with the gauge or is there an issue with the car actually running?

Also note that the fuel pump for the engine and the sending unit for the gauge are two different things.

The best thing to do is to actually test your fuel pressure. You can get a fuel pressure kit from Harbor Freight. Hook it up and have the gauge sticking out of the hood while driving and see if pressure goes down. If so then you have a fuel filter, fuel pump, or fuel blockage(possibly fuel strainer in tank) issue. If your problem is not performance but just the level is off, then the problem is probably related to the sending unit. It's not the easiest job to drop the tank.
