Default Gas Gauge broken I think.....

Yo my needle will rise to full like its just been refilled at random times.. Like even if i have a 1/8 of a tank of gas.. And it will stay like that for hours.. it just goes back down sometimes. What do you think it could be? Thanks.

that happened to me too. replace the gauge and you're good to go. You can also try unplugging the fuel sender underneath the back seat and see if the needle moves at all...

the only things that could be wrong are broken gauge, bad wiring, or bad fuel level sender. to check to see what's wrong do like he said and unplug it. If it drops all the way down from full then good gauge, and most likely good wiring. Then when sender plugged in try moving it up and down see if the gauge moves if no then bad sender, also if the arm on the sender is loose then it's probably bad anyways!!

I had the same prob on my crx. I tightened a small 10mm bolt between the taillights near the hatch latch. It looks like it grounds the taillights but it might ground the sending unit as well.
