Default does anyone else have this problem...

ok i was wondering if any of you guys have this problem also...
my gas meter is very inaccurate, it'll say i have half a tank of gas sometimes when i have none and say i have no gas when i actually do?

i dont know if its the jdm cluster that doesnt read the gas levels correctly or is it something inside my fuel tank? btw when i bought my car the first thing a replaced was the cluster so i didnt know if my old cluster did the same thingn because i dont have the usdm cluster anymore...

and how do i fix the problem, because its getting very annoying not knowing how much fuel i have left?

my eg does the same thing...
sometimes the gas needle goes down 1-2 mm and then itll go back up. ive always questioned that but i always refilled before it got to the E.
so you're not alone, i feel that its a common thing

try some gas treatment, anything but stp, and see if that helps. you may just have a sticky float.

can't remember the name right now, but there is a good one made by valvoline.
gunk is also decent.
