Gas Tanks

1997 F350 7.3 with Dual fuel tanks. Is there a way to get the fuel gauge to stop going the E everytime you make a quick or sharp turn and the fuel moves in the tanks? It isn't really a big problem, just extremely annoying!

Sounds like the gauge itself is bad. The gauge has an electrical "filter", if you will, that averages/normalizes rapid swings in ohms resulting from the fuel moving in the tank.

Mine have been bouncing around since about 2000.

Either way Steve it's the gauge.

Mine is bad, as previously mentioned. In those hundreds you've worked on how many of them had both senders go bad at the same time?
