Gas problems

[lmakaveli]

my ek3 cant go under half tank. this has been like this since mid year last year an now this is VERY frustrating to be filling up before it reaches half all the time. wen it goes under the half mark the car cuts off. the gas tank isnt damaged and i hav changed the fuel pump last year but dat never helped. Any and any help will be greatly appreciated. PLEASSEEEE!!!

Are you sure your guage is functional.
Remove the pump assembly and service the float switch

could be a faulty gauge or float

[lmakaveli]

my gauge is functional. i will full d tank today. by d next two days wit normal driving it will reach half, but as soon as it starts to dip under half, it feels as if it wants to cut off or it does. so wen i get to the gas station an i full up it only takes like $55 to fill.

any assistance wud be appreciated.

What changes, if any, were made to the vehicle around the time this started?
What was done to try to remedy this since then?
Was the fuel pump changed before or after this started happening?

Is the pump properly immersed into the fuel tank? And by that I mean, does the fuel pick-up reach all the way to the bottom of the tank?

Can anyone answer how do you service a float switch?

sometimes the float switch in older vehicles accumulates a sticky buildup that prevents the float from moving freely.
You need to remove the assembly and clean it thoroughly.
