I called and the sending unit runs about $50.00, and while I'm at it
I'm going to replace the fuel filter (in the tank for '95!), again
$50.00... The
dealer wants $150 labor (for both or one), plus $100 parts for both.... How
difficult to do the work myself??? And go figure, today the gauge it
working.
It hasn't had a problem since that weird episode the other day. I'll wait
till it quits....
