Fuel gauge dropping to zero slowly
Hello all, this is my first post here *smile* though i've been skimming for quite some time..without all the helpfull comments here I would still be wondering why I had coolant in my oil (that was a pain to replace that gasket) and why my speedometer kept bottoming out and causeing me to downshift (VSS)
my car is a 96 (96 acording the the VIN, but is listed as a 97 through several sources so i'm not sure) Chevy lumina, 3.1
ok, problem is, when I hit the gas station, put in lets say, ten dollars...the gauge reads properly at about 1/2 tank or so from empty...but over the course of the next hour of driving the gauge will drop slowly and bottom out completely..not to rise again untill I put more gas in...even though I know there is still gas in the tank..I've been driving on mileage...but I have a road trip coming up and I need to get this ironed out.
any help would be great. thanks in advance.
