    I have a '94 excel and everytime I fill the fueltank, the fuel gauge tells
    me that tank is 3/4 full. I am sure I filled the whole tank, but it keeps
    telling me it is not full? Any ideas?

    I checked the fuel gauge sender unit and I measured values from 7 to 70
    ohm. Is this normal for this type of car?

    If I recall correctly, this was a "from the factory" issue and Hyundai
    issued a TSB about installing a shunt resistor to normalize the gauge.

    Do you also have the TSB number?

    I wasn't somewhere I could access the tsb database yesterday. I looked
    today and couldn't find anything. Nor do I see any specs in the online
    manual. Sorry.

    I use www.hmaservice.com. I have access to some areas the general public
    doesn't, but you can access almost all of the technical service bulletins
    by selecting "Web Tech".
