Subject:Advise on gas tank gauge
From:Fran�ois V�zina

Hi all

The gas gauge in my van (1981) is not working. In fact when the tank 
is full the gauge indicate "full" but after a couple of kms it goes 
al the way down to "empty". This is pretty annoying because we have 
to mark the milage all the time to know when to fill up again. The 
mechanic said that the sensor is probably incorrectly installed (the 
tank has been replaced by the previous owner). I am thinking about 
having it fixed.

Is this something hard to do? Where is the sensor located on the 
tank? I don't want to pay a mechanic for a day of work just to fix 
that little thing. Any advice?
