Before changing my fuel filter last week I removed the gas cap to relieve pressure. Removed the old filter, replacing it with the new one. This is about the 3rd filter I've replaced.
When I got back in to start the car I noticed the fuel gauge had moved from less than 1/4 tank to slightly over 1/2. I knew I needed to gas up so I filled up and the gauge now reads full (actually about a needle width over full). Seems to be holding there after 60 miles.
Is there anything I can do to get this thing to read a bit more accurately? I know these Ford gauges have always been buggy, but it gets me in the ball park.
I always go by my odometer, anyway...but still...
