GAS Posted January 14, 2005 Share Posted January 14, 2005 Hi all nice that the forum is back. The petrol gauge is acting strange, when the needle is on E the gas tank is about half not empty. Any ideas is it the float in the tank or is it the meater in the dash board ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denisb Posted January 14, 2005 Share Posted January 14, 2005 What year, it might be your voltage regulator that's starting to go flaky. If your temp gauge is also acting up, it's definately your regulator going flaky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAS Posted January 14, 2005 Author Share Posted January 14, 2005 It is 1990 The temp gauge is ok. Where is this voltage regulator ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denisb Posted January 14, 2005 Share Posted January 14, 2005 It's on the back side of the instrument cluster, but if your temp gauge works, I'd be doubtfull that this is the problem. Looks more like a sending unit issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAS Posted January 14, 2005 Author Share Posted January 14, 2005 Sending unit ? Are that the float in the gastank ? If not where are the sending unit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denisb Posted January 14, 2005 Share Posted January 14, 2005 That would be the whole float assembly in the tank yes. Could be a loose connection, half broken wire or a sticking float. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glenn Posted January 16, 2005 Share Posted January 16, 2005 I had similar problem with my "90 --would read half empty even when full. Got the sensor [float?] replaced by Nissan [$$] dealer and problem was solved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
