Gas gauge - Doodge Caravan 2000

When I fill full gas tank and run till 3/4 of tunk is still full, my gas gauge becomes crazy - it jumps down (like no gas at all), the "low fuel" indicator lights up and you can hear a signal of "low gas". After a second all returns to the regular state. And this behavior continues every few second / minutes until the gas tank is 1/4 full. I don't care a lot about fixing it, the only important thing to me - is to desaible the "low gas" sound, I am going crazy hearing it every few seconds or minutes :) Thanks a lot!

Have my car on 3/4 full want to top it up but fuel gauge still showing 3/4 full

Fuel gauge is inaccurate. Just keep filling tank till it takes no more. And knowing the gas mileage you get on the car and fuel tank capacity, set the odometer and when you calculate that you are getting close to the bottom, get some gas.

Gas tank will not fill up on 2001 ford expedition

Gas as in gasoline or gas as in LPG gas? If its petrol, the fuel sender may be out of adjustment. (Usually means a new sender) If its LPG, the fuel stations are set to automatically shut off at 80% full. The gas tank will never actually be full to the brim but the gauge should be showing full if the gas nozzle keeps shutting off. Have a look on the LPG tank itself, they have a little gauge on them which shows how full it is. I have 2 tanks on my car , when "full" or when the pump shuts down, the tank gauges show just under full but the gauge on the cars dash shows full (2005 BA Ford)

Why does my 2002 SC430 gas gauge needle not work when tank is full?

The sending unit in gas tank is broken - hence the wrong readings of how much gas is in the tank. Replace unit.

A friend put oil into a gas tank I used to fill my truck up. Truck won't start but it keeps turning trying to. Now I believe the fuel injector is clogged or dirty and is keeping my truck from starting....

yeah sound like your fuel injectors are clogged...I would first change and the fuel filters and go to wal mart and buy "sea foam" fuel injector cleaner its in a white and red metal can this stuff is awesome!...and add it too a full tank of gas run the vehicle till the gas tank is empty..if this doesn't fix it you will need to flush out the entire fuel system and flush out the fuel tank

My oil and gas gauge on my truck jump .... gas gauge works fine till i get to about half a tank then it starts jumping.. oil gauge jumps from the time i start my car and regulates but when i slow down or...

You probably have a bad sending unit for the fuel level in the tank. this would cause the gauge to be erratic when the level is below 1/2 tank and the float is moving around much more than when full. The oil pressure gauge problem could be caused buy a loose wire connection or a faulty sending unit.

2000 toyota celica gas gauge is stuck at 3/4 tank, when i fill the tank up it shows full but as soon as it hits 3/4 it stays there. what could it be?

Seems like the float level unit in the gas tank is damaged, and not traveling all the way down when fuel is consumed. It is an inexpensive part, $25-50 , but quite a hassle to install.

When I fill my gas tank on my 2000 Dodge intrepid, the fuel gauge will move from full, drop to empty and then back to full again. It does this over and over until the tank is down to about 3/4 full.

HI, the fuel gauge sending unit is malfunctioning. this is located inside the fuel tank and, it is part of the fuel pump assembly. replacing this failing component will fix this issue.

Fuel gauge jumps around

Depending on the severity of the problem, Sea Foam fuel additive can fix this (or at least lessen the crazy jumping around). It's available at NAPA. It worked on my Jimmy. However, in my case gauge started jumping around with less than 1/4 tank (worked fine when full).
