[QUOTE="Riley P, post: 13961, member: 2"] My car has done this off and on. I think it is just one of those C5 things. I don't think this is something that Sea Foam fixes as it's not a build up of material that is throwing off the gauge but I may be wrong. One day I may splurg to replace the sending units but the $1500 it will cost could be used in other areas right now. I may have a bead on a cheap fix if you can get the tanks out yourself but will have to find it. My car also drops to E when at the 1/3 tank mark. If I drive it a while longer, it comes back! I think this is more where Sea Foam works as it removes the buildup that keeps the fuel sending unit from reading the level. Sea Foam fixed this a couple summers ago for me and I may throw more in, but I rarely let it get below half a tank anyway. In the meantime, use your trip odo. If your gauge or sending units should shat the bed, then at least you can go by that to know when to refuel. [/QUOTE]
