My gas gauge on my 1994 honda accord lx goes up and down once it get past half tank can anyone tell me whats wrong...I was told i need a fuel sending unit which i cant seem to find one for my year of car on eBay and auto zone and advanced auto part stores don't sell them....would it be cheaper to buy a whole new fuel tank? do new fuel tanks come witha sending unit?
 
The sending unit is bad.. Particulary, the stainless steel sensing finger that is connected to the float.. This finger slides on a copper winding and it determines how much fuel is in the tank by the float bobbing up or down.. The finger is worn from rubbing up and down over the years.. Its nice to get something out of it.. If it lets you know when your close to E then that is a good thing..

New Fuel tanks will not come with the sending unit. You could try a new sending unit for a newer model car..
 
check the sending unit first or could be the wiring last time I had that problem there were mice on top of fuel tank eating up the wires.if you need a fuel sending unit your gonna have to go to the dealer.
