The fuel gauge on my ex-240D has started intermittently suddently dropping
from the correct reading down toward zero. Most of the time it's OK, but
sometimes it's very noticable.
Like most intermittents, it's hard to troubleshoot. Any one been there
before and have any suggestions?
Thanks,

Any idea of what it might be worth?
Any comments about, "it starts right up and has a little ruff idol for a
few seconds(like most diesels do)," besides spelling?
