your fuel gauge may not be accurate...

fuel level maybe lower than indicated....
that's what i thought, but when i went to fill her up, the tank only holds like 12.5-13.5 gallons

By chance, do you have a fuel pump kill switch installed? My 87 t2 has had the same problem. After I installed my switch, the ground started to come loose. Everytime I made a hard turn at low speeds, it would die then would start back after the car would come out of the turn. I cleaned the ground and it was okay again.

actually, yeah i do have a kill switch installed, so this might be it. i changed my fuel filter yesterday and cleaned the fuel pump basket with alcohol. the fuel filter was sooo undersized, at least compared to my new one from advance auto (about 1 1/2 " shorter, 1" smaller in diamter), and wasn't even mounted, just dangling. so i changed it and attached it with zip-ties as best as possible.



it idles much better, and i'm going to start it up tomorrow and see if it hesitates like before. i'll push it in a u-turn and see what happens. It its bad, i might have to check the switch theory. either way, the car seems to run a lot better at low rpm's with this new filter.
