Default Updated information on FUEL LEVEL SENDER

Friend of mine with 2000 C5 coupe, has is unit in the shop for a complete fuel system replacement, its the 6th or 7th time for the zero fuel error. The dealer is working with engineers in Corvette world KY. The fix is NOT to use Mobil or Sunoco gasoline. So there you go folks no more problems. :crazy:

Uh.... SURE!
Either your friend is pulling your leg about that fix or else the dealer is pulling his leg about the fix.

The point of the message is that we dont believe it either, but it supposedly came out of GM.

Hate to date myself........but, there was a time.......when the General would fix EVERYTHING that broke on a new GM product, including clutches, brakes, etc..........ALL the way........until the warranty period was up.........no questions, just fixed........how I LONG for those days......
(We live in a "It's not my job world",and it's not a problem, and it's not OUR fault, and.......the list goes on.......) and it sucks the big one at times............... :(
