Interesting, been wondering why lately my fuel gauge seemed to begin reading low soon after a fill-up. Started to drop to like an 1/8th of a tank and would just sit there for quite a few more miles.

It was a HF unit (glad I bought a spare) and just got all wonky last week - thought I had a dead battery but found the switch just wasn't making consistent contact when engaged - I guess $3 bucks eve...
