2001 S430 GAS GUAGE SOMETIMES MALFUNCTIONS SHOWING EMPTY. I TOOK TO MB FOR A RCALL FOR ANOTHER PROBLEM AND ASK THEM TO CHECK OUT THE GUAGE PROBLEM. THE CAR HAS ONLY 39000 MILES BUT WENT OUT OF WARRANTY IN AUGUST 04. THE MB DEALER SAID I NEEDED A NEW INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AT 1800.00. AFTER A WEEK THEY NOW SAY IT COULD BE THE FUEL TANK SENDING UNIT AT ABOUT 500.00. I DO NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO. THEY WERE TO CALL MB TO ASK FOR HELP IE LOW MILEAGE JUST OUT OF WARRANTY.

I went thru a similar problem earlier this year. It turned out to be the sending unit (float) in the gas tank which was replaced $500. It has been fine since
