Fuel gauge was iffy "forever," but would come back in randomly; sometimes it would correct after going over a bump, sometimes after filling the tank, sometimes for no obvious reason. A few months ago, it suddenly started working again! Then, a mechanic noticed a thin hose under the hood somewhere near the crank shaft wire had disconnected. He reconnected it, and when I went to drive home, the gas gauge was out again, and has been since. :-( The odometer and speedometer have always worked.:-) Preparing for a 1200 mile ride southeast to northeast. Would be so great if the fix for this is simple....Also, mechanic suggested filling a gas can and storing it in the Uhaul trailer. Guy at Lowe's said that was a dangerous, terrible idea. Is it?
