    It seems like we're all having the same issue. After I fill up my gauge will drop to 3/4 tank in about five miles and dances around like a chihuahua on crack. It quickly drops to 1/2 tank after that and then takes a long time to get down to empty. I'm still getting the same gas milage that I always did, but the gauge mis-read is really starting to bug me. Would replacing the sending unit in the tank take care of this?

    I guess i'm lucky,i haven't had any issues with my gauge so far,works perfectly,i also think the sending unit may need replacement or adjusments.
    Dakar was just the begining.

    My gas meter has ADHD! I find it very annoying and distracting . I keep peeking at it to see what kind of silly place the needle will be. When I fill up it will be either past full or at .75 full , But just for a second or two then it will change ,then go back and so on ,for about 60 miles . Then wham o .25 of a tank left ? I am getting about 17 mpg between refuels . I do a lot of mixed driving (highway/city ) . All in all I still love my dragon , and this community . Dang I need to get (TJH) into that nifty green color .
