Leaking Fuel?
Could I be? I guess anything's possible, I've just never had this one happen before. My baby has been parked for about 2 weeks. I could have sworn that when I pulled into the garage, the gauge was reading a little over 3/4 tank. I started it up yesterday, and she was barely reading over 1/2! :eek: I don't smell any gasoline fumes, and I haven't noticed any drips. :confused: Has anyone else had a fuel leak? If so, where was it?
Thanks in advance :cheers:

Got any kids? :) At age 15 my older sister was known to go for joy rides in my parent's Monte Carlo when they where gone.

Re: Leaking Fuel? (Fevre)
I`ve notice several fuel gages acting like that.When you pull in to the garage and look at the gauge,it says 1/2.When you shut of the car and the electric, the needle seem to drop down a bit.When you insert the key again and turn everything on,the gauge starts to move upwards.But it doesnt go all the way up to 1/2.It stays a little below it...Go figure..My Volvo did the exact same thing.. :confused: :confused: :smash:

Also noticed that my gauge tends to adjust very slow meaning it may have adjusted to your forward motion just before you parked making it read high, but when it sat it re-adjusted to it's current reading. Jut a theory with no factual basis. :confused:
