The fuel gauge works reliably most of the time. Sometimes though, it drops to zero and the "fuel empty" warning flashes and beeps. Later in the day, when i start the car, it works fine again.
Its not a sticky gauge, and if the sender is stuffed, why would it work most of the time? Could it be a wiring connector?
I've searched the forums but cant find anything about removing the fuel tank sender from a station wagon. Do i still need to remove the tank?
It occasionally needs its parts fixed or replaced, but after 285,000 kms, it still looks and drives like new. Commodores rule.

For the amount of trouble involved in removing the fuel pump and sender it just ain't worth it. Check the wiring connector at the tank....also where it goes under the carpet/seat for breaks.
