Since I went to MaBell, my gas gauge has been eratic. I put in 13 gallons of gas and only got 140 miles before my gauge said I needed to fill up. Any ideas?

Hey, you're doing better than I am. I go about 100 miles and have to fill up with 15 gallons.  Have you checked the bottom of your gas tank to see if there is a nice concave shape to it? You have a plastic tank, right? How about the metal skidplate? |

I have a metal skid plate that does seem to have a nice concave shape to it. Is that something that can be fixed??

aftermarket skid plate would be the first solution that comes to mind, perhaps something from Kilby, Skidrow, or warn. once your skid is down, your tank might go back to stock shape.

a dent in the skid plate will mess up the sending unit that much??

I have a few good dents in my skid plate. How come I seem to be going through gas faster. The gas pump is telling me I am putting in the correct amount of gas.

I know you put a pritty good bend/kink in your exhaust as well, Did you manage to get that completely taken care of? That might be able to cause mileage problems. on a side note I wish i got 140 miles for 13 gal of gas  |

I brought my jeep to Meineke and they cut off the bent part and welded on a new tailpipe.
