Hello all!
Got into the wagon this morning to go to work...start up and all is well, go down my driveway and then i notice the fuel light and the gauge is reading dead empty! Turned it off then on again and it went to full (where it should be as i filled up last night full tank) then after 3 seconds it instantly droppped to empty. Strange...so i drove to work, as i went along, it crept up heading to where it should be, by the time i got to work it was pretty close to full. Had to run to Bunnings during the day, pretty short trip around the block, no oddities with the gauge. Coming home, all was well till i dropped off my workmate tonight, left it idling in park, came back and the light was on and needle on dead empty. Began creeping up on the way home. So here i am. Is the fuel sender cactus? Where is it and what can i do to fix it? If not that, what is it and how can i fix it? Cheers!

Sender issue. If it doesn't detect a sender for the fuel guage, it'll go to full, then drop to empty. Once you go over a bump or something, a connector is probably bumping it back into place.
