Gas Gauge Issue

So I noticed the gas gauge wants to tell me I am just over half tank even when I am full...what is the deal?

Most likely issue is the fuel level sensor, also called the sending unit. It is located in the fuel tank, attached to the fuel pump. I am unaware of being able to easily replace the fuel level sensor without replacing the pump as well.

If it just started give it a little while, the evil spirits should leave on its own.

Ha! Now that's funny.

I've actually "waited out" a few problems on the Ex before and they went away... amazing really.

My gas gauge did that for a bit, I waited it out and it stopped. I don't know what the inside of the tank looks like, but in my old jeep I had back in high school did the same until one day when I was out wheeling I noticed it started working again. Figured I just knocked it loose to whatever it was stuck on.
