running on "E"

[spebil]

Have a 1.6 in my Zuk with a tracker fuel pump in the tank. My problem is that when I get at half a tank I run out of gas. It didn't always do this , started about 4 weeks after I replaced the fuel pump. Anyone have any guesses before I check inside the tank to see what may be going on??

replace all the connecting hoses in the tank, use new hose clamps too .. one of the joints isn't fitting tight enough and it's sucking air when you get down to 1/2

you can also check and see if the tank is empty or half full when this happens its also possable that the gauge is screwy mine runs empty till is almost out of gas then starts to move up. its a ground problem for me.

mine reads the other way...reads full all the time..when the tank is on the floor but still connected, it is ok.. as soon as I put the bolts back in.. FULL.. bad ground ??? short in the wiring ?? ideas ???:question:

sorry for the interruption.. also mine is a tracker,1.6 with pump in tank also

Sending unit, in my tracker the problem was a broken wire at the dash end.

fuel level sending unit is taking a shit.

Sidekick fuel pump senders are shorter than sami units. When the fuel level gets below 1/4 tank, you'l run out of gas going around a corner fast or off camber.
