Fuel Guage problem
Hey all
I am new to the Forum . Wonder if some one can help me out .
I have a 2002 White Corvette Coup 3& K Miles . Last week I inadvertantly filled my car up with fuel that was 10 % ethanol .
Now less that about 60 miles later my fuel guage will not register at all.
Also I notice that my digital guage is telling me that my car is low on fuel. It originally moves to full when I start the car but then it settles
on empty , the check engine light is staying on as well.
Any Ideas would surely be appreciated.

You might have toasted your sensor in the gas tank with that ethanol. Try filling up with 93 and adding a bottle of Techron from Chevron in there.
And since real high octane fuel will fry your O2 sensors that might be why you have a check engine light.
The fuel level problem is quite common

I have put a bottle of Techron in the Car , but I noticed that as I go through a computer reset that I have several codeless entries , can this be part of the problem ? How might I reinstall all these codes?
Thanks

It works, it might take 2 tanks and 4 bottles but it works.
Then just use 2 bottles every 3000 miles and you'll be all set.

Techron did nothing for me, tried Berryman B-12, took three tanks but finally cleared up, and Berrymans is half the price of Techron, been using small amounts of acetone a proven mileage improver and also a very powerful solvent, at 6oz to the tankful, getting me a whopping 1.2 mpg, or 7% increase and hopefully keeping contacts on fuel sender clean. Acetone in gallon quantities only costs about $.09 per oz or $.54 per 18 gallons, Read all about it! http://www.pureenergysystems.com/new...00069_Acetone/
