- 1998 Eddie Bauer 4.0 SOHC
My Wife has a 98 Eddie Bauer 4.0 SOHC. She ran out of gas the other day and claims it was at 1/8th tank and the low fuel light wasnt even on. She says she has seen it on before so we know it works, but its fairly inconsistent when it does or doesnt work. I got a reciept from the fill up afterward and it was definitely empty. It took a little over 20 gallons. It sounds like it just hangs on 1/8th tank until its about dry and occasionally goes to empty. She said the light used to give her alot more time before she ran out. I will check both the sender and the guage, but it seems to be a very common issue. Is it even worth it to replace either the guage or the sender? Is it even going to fix anything or is the new one going to be as lame as the first?
