RE: gas guage
 

High sulphur content in gasoline makes lots of GM gas guages go to ZERO. My Corvette has the same problem. Had the sending unit replaced in the Vette under warranty but it came back about 2 years later. Adding a large bottle of TECHRON for a few tanks should clear up the sulpher ozidation enough to make the guage read again. Techron is added to Chevron and Texaco gas. Costs MORE but do you want to read your guage or not? Also the guage in my Montana is very INNACURATE. Shows full for a LONG TIME then when it goes to half full you are over 3/4 empty. Have the overhead display which I reset every fillup so I can track how much gas I'm USING.
