[QUOTE="1 BAD 9T9, post: 261443, member: 3083"] Check out this article and video - it is absolutely true!! I wrote a note about exactly this a couple of months ago. Not that I want credit, but what do you do in the spring when your sender unit is all contaminated and your C5, C6 or C7 fuel gauge is reading incorrectly? When I first got my 1999 about 10 years ago I thought same as everybody else and filled my tank full for the winter to eliminate condensation. I as not aware that these fuel tanks are sealed. In the spring my fuel gauge gave all kinds of false readings. Fortunately I have a friend who is a Corvette General Motors specialist and he gave me the solution. Here it is. Just get a 295 ml (10 oz) bottle of Chevron Techron Complete Fuel System Cleaner and add it to a full tank of gas. Voila - works like a miracle. Cleans the sender contacts and you don't have to pull the fuel tank and sender/pump assembly. Only problem is I don't know where to buy this stuff in Canada. Luckily for me Detroit is five minutes away across the Ambassador Bridge where you can buy Techron at Walmart. I do see it on Amazon for about $25 US but the packaging looks like it has been updated. Maybe you could try the CTC cleaner but I do not know if this works, Perhaps some one on this forum has experience with a Canadian solution. I have no information on the C8. [/QUOTE]
