I fill up and the needle stays at max for over 100 miles. If I flick the guage hard, with my finger, it drops to around half for a bit and then straight back to full.
Next day its probably at around half where it sits and then days later it pretty quickly drops to near empty before going up to half full again.
The warning light comes on roughly when you'd expect it too though.
Other posts here say the likely cuprit would be the tank sender or dirt in the fuel but the fact I can move it by tapping maybe suggests maybe the guage itself.
Anyone have any thoughts on what to try first?
