Ok so i was riding down the road and i geared down to 3rd messing with a friend of mine and as i got to about 8K i noticed my fuel gauge was droping rapidly. So i kinda freaked out cut the car off and pulled into a parking lot thinking I had a massive fuel leak. I had just filled my car up to the brim so i knew i had fuel but when i pulled in and got out started looking it over ...NO leak anywhere cranked it back up fuel pressure reads good but the gauge in the cluster is sitting below E and will not move. Anybody have any ideas on what could of cause this suddenly to just fall out of the bottom like that ? I have check all the wires and connections but none are loose or disconnected that i can see without dropping the tank. Anyyone ever have this happen to them ? What can i do to fix it ? Thanks in advance guys !!

 

Maybe the float in the gas tank fell off, so then it reads empty

 

damn i was hopeing it wasnt that but with these solid mounts i got you may be correct on that ... looks like i'll be droping the tank to find out

 

I dont know for sure but cant you get to the fuel pump from under the back seat. it would be easier than dropping the tank.

 

there is a small cover but i think it leads to a clip and wire i'm almost positive you have to drop the tank ... anyone ???

 

If it was me, i would check that cover, and under it first.

 

ok under the cover is a lock ring with a plug ... looks like i can get into the tank is this my float or is it built into the pump assembly ?

 

Well under the cover is the pump. but im not sure if the float is attached to it. sorry bro, i looking it up now

 

Here you go buddy....... https://honda-tech.com/forums/honda-civic-del-sol-1992-2000-1/fuel-gauge-sending-unit-replacement-1069694/

 

thanks man i'm gonna look into that in the morning before work

 

The pump is not under the access cover in an '88-91 Civic/CRX. The fuel level sending unit is under the cover; the fuel pump cannot be accessed without dropping the fuel tank.

 

Check fuse #1, if this blows your fuel gauge wont work. It's a 10amp.

 

You can get to the sending unit with out dropping the tank. Go in under the back seat.
