GM Fuel Gage Problems

Anyone else out there having problems with their late model GM fuel gages?

I thought mine was just one of those things, but i hear that this is fairly common.

Initially the problem started once the fuel level dropped below 1/8 of a tank, the needle would rock right over to full. It originally wasn't a problem since i was pretty close to filling up. But then it slowly got worse, until eventually, anything below half a tank caused the same thing to occur.

The solution was a new "fuel tank level sensor" which i installed myself just recently.

I am now hearing that it's being blamed on an additive that certain gasoline producers use.

I don't know about that one, but i can tell you that the sending unit itself is quite flimsy and weakly designed.

Wondering if anyone else has any info or similar problems.
