Hey Guys, I'm new here and just bought a 2000 C5 coupe. The fuel gauge will work one day and stop working another day. I know it has a half a tank in it. Can you guys help.

A very common problem with both the C5 and C6. Sulphur buildup on the fuel send/reader causes it to fail. Many have corrected the problem by adding Techron to their next couple of fill-ups and a regular regimen every few months to avoid a reoccurence.

Hi!
Had the same problem for years. The dealer replace 2 sending units in the tanks and I put one set in myself (still had the problem). One day the fuel pump went out, replace it and the gas gauge started working.
