| Description of the problem | The fuel gauge doesn't accurately reflect the amount of gasoline in the fuel tank. Examples include when the fuel tank is filled to the point of overflowing, the fuel gauge randomly reports, 3/4, 1/2 1/4 and sometimes empty. The fuel gauge randomly reports different fuel levels each time the ignition is turned on. Further research of the described matter on various online 350z forums indicate the same problem exists for many other 350z owners, which indicates a product defect.
