The fuel gauge in my 1996 XJ reads empty when it’s not even close to empty. If I pull out the sending unit and move the float around it gives accurate readings as long as it is outside the tank, but goes back to empty when I reinstall it. Sometimes it reads full when the tank is full, but goes to empty when there’s still 10-15 gallons left. Right now, the tank is completely full and it reads empty with the low fuel light on. I already replaced the sending unit with a new one and the behavior is exactly the same. The only thing I can think of is the floats don’t float in a modern gas/ethanol blend. Has anyone encountered this? Any ideas on how to fix it?
