My fuel gauge reading has been going back and forth from empty to full. i have put a full tank of gas in it and it reads empty. this began a few weeks ago and has not stopped. it has caused my engine light to come on as well. i went to have it tested at a shop and they said it was the fuel sender. i have researched and found a number of complaints about this. i ask how will i be compensated for this inconvience? | |||
