| Gas guage reads full until tank is approximately 1/2 empty. less than 1 gallon reads 1/4 tank on guage. dealer referred my 1998 problem to tsb sb97-02-l009, a 1997 tsb regarding the isuzu rodeo model and a different symptom. dealer's recommendation is to wait until isuzu solves the 1997 tsb. numerous complaints from other 1998 amigo owners can be seen at http://forums.vmag.com/suvamigo0199. *ak | |||
