Hello,
I have a 1993 Civic VX ( purchased in Dec of 2010 w/ 175k on the clock...).
No matter where the fuel gauge is, when I make right hand turns, the gauge "drops" about a quarter of a tank, then slowly resume it's pre-corner position. The Honda dealer says that this is normal ( ! ) I find this hard to believe and was wondering if anyone out there has had this issue and has a solution/remedy for it. I realize that one could just say to replace the sending unit, but looking for less expensive options if one exists.
Thanks,
Douglas
