Worked perfectly fine tnx alot man
 
I wanted to say thank you for this thread! Fixed my problem and took less than 30 minutes. Prior to following this DIY, my gauge would stop just under 3/4 and never go passed that.

Success!!

Hahaha, nice to see this DIY is working out for everyone. Some reason, mine has been acting up more frequent now. Maybe it's time to replace my fuel level sensor on the driver side tank, if not then might go for the one pump, but just hates the idea of throwing out a working pump for the little sensor. :mad.:
 
From the reports, seems like this is just a temporary fix. Better than paying out the nose though.
 
fooked up thing though is that even fully replacing is still only a temporary fix, I replaced both of mine when I first got my fx and like a little over a year later it started acting screwy again..., andy, are you saying you've cleaned yours several times and each time it lasts less time?

Yeah, I have clean mine two or three since I put this DIY together. Each I take them sensors out, there just a light faint coating on the leads. I rub it with an eraser, put it back and voila, it work beautifully again and then gradually less and less accurate.

Yeah John, its less time in between each cleaning.
 
Maybe... But im always using the most expensive feul (Sunoco 94) thinking im making it better not worse. It would be nice to know if certain feul brands contribute to the already shady sensors.

I believe the quality of fuel this contributes to this issue as well.

try shell. u feel slight difference in power and better gas mileage. i noticed it when i did the switch from sunoco 94 to shell v power
 
im guessing this applies to the 45 as well? my gas gauge has been inaccurate now for a while, I can go from having half a tank to being empty. im hoping to do this DIY sometime this week. with regards to the fuel line discharging fuel and disconnecting the electrical connector, should this be a big concern?

I used schell 91 well over 2 years but i always found that the car ran better with 94. After doing this DIY is when i switched to sunco, that was almost years ago.

Yes its the same for fx45. When doing this DIY fix try to have your tank with no more than 1/4, the less the better. You have nothing to worry about just take your time and have some rags handy.
Very rewarding once you go to the gas station, fill it up and the needle actually goes all the way up.:good:

thanks, will probably work on this today...

fxlr8 - "recommends depressurizing the fuel line by pulling the fuel pump fuse and starting the vehicle until the motor dies. This way you won't have as much fuel shooting out of the line when you disconnect it, fuel tank level will make no difference on the amount of fuel that is in the lines"

Do you do this before you actually start the DIY?
 
Yes, do that before the DIY or if your tank about 1/4 tank, it will be not spray out neither too.
