HELP ... FUEL gage out ....
Im new to this webiste and I greatly appreciate all the help and suggestions. 
This is my first corvette and it is a Red Targa 6 speed 2000 vette. Couple mods include corsa exhaust, intake ...
Now I just hit 31K miles on it and my FUEL gage completely went to 0%. I have filled the car up and the neadle droped to 0% after 10 mintues of normal driving. My LOW FUEL warning light comes on, which I constantly need to RESET. Any suggestions?
I read previous post in regards to adding TECHRON to your gass. I tried that today. I will post if that helps.
Does anyone else have any other suggestions?
thank you again for your time.

)Seems like GM still hasn't zeroed in on a cause/definite solution. I'd say changing fuel types, i.e., sticking w/ Premium might help, but you may still have the problem in the future.
If your car is still under warranty, I'd ask them about replacing the fuel sending units as they did with mine.
Good luck!

in any car. If GM needs us to go to a specific gas station to make their car run right, they should have told us that in the owners manual. If we need Techron on a regular basis it should be in the maintenance shedule
