I assume if the sending unit failed, it wouldn't work at all. After driving for about half hour or so, it's still above "F". I thought fueling up would sort out the fuel gauge needle, but now the needle points way ABOVE "Full"! Not a hair or eighth-of-an-inch but as far right as it goes, I imagine. Not wanting to "break down" embarrassingly somewhere due to running out of gas, I go to the gas station and put in 50 should probably read 3/4 of a tank or so. When I park it that night, it's reading about an eighth-of-an-inch below half, but should be damn near empty by my estimation. Every once in a while, it bounces back up to a half tank. Now, normally the gauge was, well, not very precise. A few weeks ago I was driving my 1986 Buick Grand National around, and while waiting at a red light, glanced down to check my fuel level. I'd been driving it quite a bit and keeping an eye on the fuel gauge, thinking "Gee, I'm getting REALLY good mileage.hmm" as the needle isn't dropping much down from half a tank. F-I-N-A-L-L-Y, I get to post some non-nerd content. A day or two ago I put in just over a half-tank of gas. I imagine something like this has happened to one of you guys already.so, I'm driving the car on a late-summer spin. 1984 1985 1986 1987 Buick Regal Grand National T Type Turbo T 3.
