Fuel gauge

[vteclude]

I have a 2000 prelude base. I was wondering if anyone has had a problem where their fuel tank is full, but the gauge only shows half full. I went to my local honda dealer and they said it was most likely the fuel sending unit which is around $400. I have asked around and I have never heard anyone else having this prob with their lude. Any suggestions?

may be the gauge itself. find yourself another gauge to put in there temporarily and see if that works. never heard of that problem myself.

Can I just replace the fuel gauge or do I have to replace the whole gauge cluster. I have never heard of this problem happening on preludes but it did happen on the 98-00 accords.

I am having the same problem with my 86 Prelude. I am going to check the sending unit one of these days to see if that is the problem. You may want to go to a junk yard and get one and see if it works before you fork over big money for a new part.
