FUEL GAUGE FLUCTUATION AND/OR FUEL STARVATION

MODEL AFFECTED: 1985 ELECTRAS EQUIPPED WITH 3.8L MFI ENGINE (VIN CODE 3)

Some 1985 Electras, with less than a quarter of a tank of gas, may experience an excessive amount of fuel gage fluctuation and/or a no-start or run out of fuel condition when on an incline. A tank with a new reservoir has been developed to correct these conditions. The new tank part number is 25527547, and is currently available through GMWDD.

General Motors bulletins are intended for use by professional technicians, not a "do-it-yourselfer". They are written to inform those technicians of conditions that may occur on some vehicles, or to provide information that could assist in the proper service of a vehicle. Properly trained technicians have the equipment, tools, safety instructions and know-how to do a job properly and safely. If a condition is described, do not assume that the bulletin applies to your vehicle, or that your vehicle will have that condition. See a General Motors dealer servicing your brand of General Motors vehicle for information on whether your vehicle may benefit from the information.
