It usually means that there is something wrong with the fuel gauge itself. It's like when the speedometer is out, just get i checked by the car manufacturer
It is to prevent the fuel from sloshing back and forth. Fuel sloshing can cause the fuel gauge to be erratic.It is to prevent the fuel from sloshing back and forth. Fuel sloshing can cause the fuel gauge to be erratic.
The fuel sloshes back & forth as you accelerate.
you tell me then we will both know.
the fuel guage in my 1993 Saturn goes wiggling back and forth. how do i fix this problem?
More than likely you need a fuel level sensor. You can buy it at the dealership or maybe your local parts store. The sensor is in the gas tank, so you will have to drop the gas tank and change it out.
The fastest seismic wave that also moves back and forth is the P-wave.
The fuel guage on most vehicles moves based on a positive or negative ohm signal from the Fuel Sending Unit on the fuel pump assembly. The guage HAS to correspond with the sending unit, or else the guage will read backwards (ie: reading a full tank of gas when your actually on fumes)

It depends on how much it moves. The fuel level will vary a little not much just from everyday driving. But if it is going from full to empty and back to full and so on a so forth. Then it is your fuel level sensor on your fuel pump. It primarily monitors the float that is in your fuel tank. It if is bad then the fuel level will vary significantly and with no pattern.
a bad sending unit in the gas tank.
the wind moves the flag
it moves its body back and forth
