Mine doesnt do it. Yeah it moves slightly when going up / down hills, but not to the red when I accelerate.
When you say it goes into the red, what is it's original position? Full, 3/4, 1/2, 1/4 etc ...?

fuel gauge
so are all you guys saying evertime you put your foot down even with half a tank your needle goes straight to red and then back up when you come off the gas
My fuel gauge was bad but never pulled tricks like that, it moved around but slowly not shooting up and down more like my boost gauge.

T28 RST, the fuel computer is as un-accurate as the gauge, guess where it gets its reading from...........
