My fuel gauge is messed up too, it still works to to an extent just isn't super accurate and fluctuates back and forth

Got it looked at at the chevy dealership, said it was a bad fuel sensor and was gonna be around 300$ to fix so I said leave it

Mine fluctuates like a ****. That's why on my aeroforce gauges at least one of my displays is the one that tells me how much fuel I got left in gallons.
