The gas gauge reads 1/8 of a tank but the tank is completely empty. Is this the gauge or the gas tank sending unit that is causing the false reading?

1991 Chevy Lumina APV Van.

Thanks

I agree, it is the sending unit.

If it is a 'float' type unit, the float gets stuck trying to go blow 1/8 tank. Common issue.

Pull the unit out of the tank, and try to clean. Or just replace if you are not willing to drop the tank a second time...

Thanks. The tank looks easy enough to drop. I'll try your suggestions.
