Greetings All,
I have a 2000 XLS 2WD 4.0L 5-speed with a funky fuel gauge. On 3 occasions over the past year, I have been driving down the interstate with about 3/4 tank of gas and the gauge visibly begins to drop by more than a quarter tank. When I accelerate, the gauge returns to the correct level. This will continue this way for about 30 minutes before resuming normal operations.
The occurances have been months apart. I know how far I can drive on a tank so running out of fuel is not an issue...much. This is just an annoyance.
Has anyone else seen this and/or know what the cause/fix is?
Mick
