[QUOTE="Spiked, post: 16052, member: 736"] I have never priced the fuel level resister.The first thing I would do is replace it if it is cheap.Pulling the hanger and pump out is a simple job.Anyone who has changed a carb or valve cover should be able to do it.The tank does not have to come out.If you have a mechanic you trust he should charge you 2 hours or less.My gauge was acting up when I first bought my C5.I already had the pump out to upgrade it to a Walbro.I bought a small pen at a large electronic supply warehouse which is made to clean resisters.It has a short brush on the end made or fiberglass strands.You just rub the resister with the pen and it strips off any contamination.If you have some gas tank cleaner or toluene that would also help while using the brush.While you have the pump out you can put your hand in the tank and feel around for any dirt and remove.Just put some motor oil on your hand and the dirt will stick to it.It worked for me. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
