Thumbs up Fixed my sticking fuel gauge ! and more MPG...

Thanks guys for your advice on using some injection cleaner and good quality fuel in my tank to fix my tempramental fuel gauge it worked a treat ! As each day passed the needle behaved itself more and now it is back to normal. Interestingly since I used the injection cleaner, my MPG has gone up giving me so far 30 more miles to a full tank and about 2 or 3 mpg more then I used to see each day. I was sceptical on the use of injection cleaner, but guys give it a try as it seems to work !

Tried that once

Wow. It's sounds like your experience was great. When I put it in my CLK430, I had an O2 sensor go bad during the tank of gas. I'm afraid to use any type of fuel addative in my MBZ. I have a Toyota truck, and I think I could run that thing off of Tequila. Maybee it was time for the sensor to go out anyway, but with 50k on the car, i don't think it should have gone bad. I don't know...........
I'm happy it worked well for you. Keep on cruisin.
