Anything else not working? Can always check fuses?! My gauge stopped working one time due to a fuse. :P lol

I checked the fuses..none of them seemed to be messed up...any other help?

Fuel Tank Sender

If you don't want to go to the expense of replacing the sender unit there is an alternative. Figure that a full tank is going to give you at least 300 miles. Every time that you fill up you zero out your trip meter. When you get near 300 miles fill up and zero out again...

Not very elegant, but it works.
