Gas gauge after gear install

I got my gears installed a while back, but then I noticed my car making this wheezing noise like an airplane. I took it to the dealer and the mechanic there told me that the guy who installed my gears installed it wrong and that I was actually missing some pieces...weird huh?

Anyway, after the mechanic fixed it for me, I realized that my gas gauge was completely off. When I filled up the tank, it would only register 3/4 of the way. I also checked with the diagnostic tool (holding down the little button on the gauge at start up) and then it was only register around 250 when I know it registered over 300 on the fuel section. Any ideas what it could be?

I might take it back to the dealer to have it checked out since I run out of gas too quick. Please provide me with any input.

I've no clue what's up with the gas guage, but what do you mean by saying you run out of gas too quick?

The reason why I run out of gas all quick is because I don't necessarily have a full tank of gas. I do my usual routine when before I had a 12 gallon tank. Now my tank only takes 9 gallons of gas. I guess the people at the dealer can help me out the next time I take my car in for service. It may take a while though since my car will be in the shop for about a month.

Going to get all of my body kit pieces painted. I'll have pictures when my project is complete.

Next...Supercharger.
 
Yea, you might want to take that back to the dealership asap, and let them know that your gas guage was working fine before you brought it in, but after that, it's working wierd. And they should fix it for free.

Good luck :nice:
