How Do I Fix My 1998 Buick Fuel Gage. It Keeps Changing From Empty To Full. What Can Be The Problem?
I got a 1998 buick park avenue and I love it. I keep the fuel tank full but the fuel gage keeps changing from empty to full all the time. How can I fix that problem?

The fuel level sending unit in the gas tank is definitely a possibility as some of them do wear out over time and cause strange behavior. Another possibility is a wire from the gas tank sending unit is shorting out intermittently on some metal piece of the car (personal experience). Trace & follow the wiring and look for any cut or wear-thru in the wiring wherever it comes in contact with, or close to, any metal edges (mine was pinched between the gas tank bracket and the body of the car.) Best of luck.
Replace the fuel sending unit, this is a common problem with these cars. You might want to think about replacing the fuel pump while the tank is down, then you won’t have to take the tank down again for quite a while.

The images of objects are all diffused through the atmosphere which receives them; and all on every side in it. To prove this, let _a c e_ be objects of which the images are admitted to a dark chamber by the small holes _n p_ and thrown upon the plane _f i_ opposite to these holes. As many images will be produced in the chamber on the plane as the number of […]
PERSPECTIVE. The air is filled with endless images of the objects distributed in it; and all are represented in all, and all in one, and all in each, whence it happens that if two mirrors are placed in such a manner as to face each other exactly, the first will be reflected in the second and the second in the first. The first being reflected in the second ta […]
The body of the atmosphere is full of infinite radiating pyramids produced by the objects existing in it. These intersect and cross each other with independent convergence without interfering with each other and pass through all the surrounding atmosphere; and are of equal force and value--all being equal to each, each to all. And by means of these, images o […]
Every body in light and shade fills the surrounding air with infinite images of itself; and these, by infinite pyramids diffused in the air, represent this body throughout space and on every side. Each pyramid that is composed of a long assemblage of rays includes within itself an infinite number of pyramids and each has the same power as all, and all as eac […]
Every point is the termination of an infinite number of lines, which diverge to form a base, and immediately, from the base the same lines converge to a pyramid [imaging] both the colour and form. No sooner is a form created or compounded than suddenly infinite lines and angles are produced from it; and these lines, distributing themselves and intersecting e […]
