Ok ive never noticed before but when you have a full tank of gas and turn your car off does the gas gauge read empty? Or does it still read the amount of gas you have when your car is off?

Ive never thought about it till my gas gauge stopped working So I am wonder if its normal for it to read empty when you turn the car off.

My car is an 02 z28

no mine stays where it's at
my rs tends to drop to 3/4 even if you have a full tank but...that's just because it's the rs

 

Mine reads empty - the only gauge that holds it's setting is oil pressure.

 

Mine holds it's setting- it tends to drop a little bit. I'm pretty sure coolant temp stays where it's at or drops a little, along with oil pressure.

 

you know what?
your guys gauges are different than mine and greendemon's
you guys have the new style gauges that run differently than our 93-96
that might be why yours does that

 

mines a 97

when i turn it off my all my gauges stay where they were...and when i start her up again they go back to correct reading

my gas one though slowly goes down a little bit but stops (maybe moves 1/8th)


on another note..my gas gauge is screwed up...when i'm at the half tank point...i only have 10 litres left ahaha..any way to fix this?

 

you and your canadiens with your metric system....

 

lol...damn americans...the world doesn't revolve around you yah know lol the rest of the world is using metric ahah

 

01 Z, Mine drops to empty

 

My stays where its reading when i shut it off.

 

On my 95 the gauge drops 1/8 tank

On the 93 drops to empty

 

my guage stays where its at. oh and the guage is like that, when it says 1/2 tank, it really like 1/4 tank left, b/c of the V shape of the tank u see.
