Default New To Gas Gauge

Group

I'm new to the Model A Gas Gauge. Why does the black line bounce around ? Should you just wait for the car to be stopped to have the black line show the correct gas level ?

Regards,
Marc

Hi Marc,

The floatis attached to the indicator level portion of the gauge. Just watch it and you will get a feeling for how much is in the tank.

Marc,

Most gauges do bounce around when you are driving as the gas is sloshing in the tank.

When the car is idle...your gauge will be idle.
