Fuel gauge

[shewitt]

Can someone tell me why my fuel gauge works fine for about 2 min then it drops off to empty. I cat see it being the sending unit is there somewhere else i could look.

One of two things, either the slosh module on the back of the cluster or the sending unit. I don't know how to check the module, but if you drop your tank you can ground it out and use a Fluke meter on it to check the sending unit.

I checked the sending unit and its ok where is the slosh module at what does it look like.

Normally when the sending unit is bad it causes the gauge to read high. I believe that the slosh module is part of the instrument cluster but I could be mistaken. I don't think there is any way to test it. Basically it filters rapid changes in fuel level so the gauge doens't move around because of fuel "sloshing" around in the tank.
