The gas gauge on my 92 Dodge Grand Caravan stopped working over the past two days. Two days ago it seemed to be fine. Yesterday it indicated that I had a quarter tank when it should have been 3/4 like the day before. The car hasn't been driven more than 30 miles in the past few days. This morning it went from 1/8 to empty in a few miles (the need gas warning light also came on). I added about 4 gallons of fuel and there was no movement in the gas gauge - it still reads empty and the low fuel warning light is on. Any suggestions on a repair would be appreciated - I have a 500 mile trip at the end of the week.

Worth checking the fuel tank for holes or there might be some fuel delivery pipes leaking badly. Or it might be an O2 sensor not giving correct signal to ecu thus consuming so much fuel.

    my 1992 does pretty much the same thing usually i can fil it up and it wiill say 3/4 tops and stay that way for about 60-70 miles then drops to half a tank stays there for another 40 miles then empty and back up to 1/4 and then it says empty and a mile later its back up to 3/8 and more occasionally , on average Im only spending 30-40 bucks to fill it up @3.50 a a gallon and average about 150 miles a tank , it seems to run GREAT other than popping out of drive sometimes and only once did I actally have to spend 48 to fill up when gas had dropped another 30cents a gallon Im confused since theres no leaks missing or smoke ?

We had similar problem a few years ago. Dealer ship tried replacing a "Body Contoller" which seemed to help for a year or so and then the same symtoms reappeared. A different dealer found pinched wires near the ECM (this was in 2007). Pinched wires corrected and no new problems since.
