2000 Accord LX 4 cyl automatic with 68k original owner. Saw that my fuel gauge was at 1/4 so I filled up today. Put in 11 gallons and left. Noticed that the gauge is still at 1/4. Drove all around today and it is not moving. Any help is appreciated.

I have the Honda Care warrenty for 3 more months. I was just reviewing it and it says it covers "• Fuel Tank and Sending Unit". Could that be problem?

 

First thing to do is Prove if it is the gauge or the sending unit at fault; Go trunk diving and pull out the spare tire cover to get to the fuel assy cover plate, under that you'll find the top of the unit.
unplug the harness and ground the Yellow/blue wire; then go turn on the key and see if the gauge goes up.[don't let it peg out]If not the guage is bad, if it does move up, the sending unit is bad.
Sending unit P/N 17630-S84-A02 Approx $60

Thanks hondadude for the quick reply. You do a great service to people here. I will try your solution.

 

Excellent. Gounded the wire and the gauge moved up to 1/2 full and then I stopped it. Thanks again HD.

 

Yo Dude once again, thanks for all the nice diagnostic images you provide for the members .. it makes trouble shooting a lot easier
