i noticed my '93 YJ hasn't gone below 1/4 tank according to the gauge (it's
actually a hair over 1/4 mark)
I figured because it sat a long time, maybe this is where the empty mark
really is. Today, I decided to fill the tank because I was at "that mark"
and i din't want to run out of gas (although someday i'll run it right out
and really see if it goes to the empty mark) I filled the tank until the
pump stopped. It took 17.513 gallons (it must have a 20 gallon tank or
conversion or whatever) and now the gauge is 1/4 PAST full. What are the
chances that it will drop down to empty if i run it empty?
(My '95 had a screwey sending unit that needed to be replaced and those
bitches are quite pricey... i'll live with this one)

mine runs out before the empty mark. usually in the red zone.

takes forever to come off the full mark

Not sure if it is possible for the face of the fuel gauge to rotate, maybe
yours has shifted and that is where the 1/4 to the plus side is coming
from.

My 93 YJ goes below Empty - I drove around with a 1 gallon gas can to see
how low it would go,,, never actually ran out but needle went below E and I
took almost 18 gals. to fill up. As a habit I always like to fill up at the
1/4 mark but it is good to know that I could run all the way down to E if
required (or about 300 miles on trip odometer).
