You don’t have to remove the back portion of the seat and you do need to clean the sensors in both sides of the tank to get this fix to work properly. The driver’s side is much easier than the passenger side.
You have to clean both sensors, the passengers side also has a gauge sensor. I cleaned both and the readings were normal. Hopefully this helps because this is a common issue for the G's
Check the sending unit with an ohmmeter making sure it's working before putting it back. Might need more than just Q-tips, try it with rubbing compound. Need clean mating surfaces between the wiper and track - it's a potentiometer, look it up. I would have removed the back seat as well if I didn't know, better than dropping the tank from under which I needed to do. BTW taking out that pump unit is like delivering a baby, or was it just me?
when you reattach the cover after cleaning the teeth on the variable resistor (arm rubs on these teeth to read from empty to full) be careful not to trap the arm so it is stuck or bent and binding in the gas tank or you knocked the float off because you really wanted to go have a beer instead of missing with your car and got pissed off because your girl left with that other dude (possible to get stuck high or low which could throw an error code) and can no longer move up and down with the tank level....someone below has a fault that shows always empty/full and the arm could be stuck or one of the wires on the teeth could have fallen off.....the teeth get covered with lacquer (like nail polish) and become intermittent....more likely dirty teeth than a bad pump
vElite Rim automatic is the way to go now. Did no one give you the update jk. 6 speed all day everyday! I don’t know why you would be “racing” this car with an automatic tranny unless you bought it for a stupid dumb price and planed on doing a 6 speed conversion but to be honest that isn’t worth the trouble when you can just find a 6 speed on the cheap since most people can’t drive stick you can talk the price down super low because the seller will have a tough time getting rid of a car that that most don’t know how to drive. That’s what I did to get my 6 speed G and it worked like a charm 😀
I did this method like 4 months ago. After doing it, my gauge was reading bad. Turned out, it wasn’t my fuel pump. I sent out my cluster and got the fuel gauge fixed. The resistor gets bad overtime
KingAndrew5000 yeah the cluster that’s on the dash. There’s like 3 resistors that gets blown out. Maybe depending on where you live, type in “instrument cluster repair” and you might find that are local. I had a few around my area but I sent it out to someone who was able to do it for me quicker.
@@felipegarcia2419 hey felipe.. el mio tiene el mismo problema ya cambie las bombas de gas y nada.. creo es el tablero cuanto pagaste? Ya cheque laa bombas de gas y los cables y cuando conecto el cluster me da mala lectura de la gas.. el tuyo ya quedo bien del medidor de gas?
I wouldn’t mess with any fuel additives. They are mostly a load of BS and sometimes can mess up your injectors and cause more problems not to mention making the check engine light come on. As long as your using premium fuel with every fill up you should be good to go. This engine will last you forever as long as you treat her right. I’m rocking 230k miles on mine and she still runs like a champ! Hope this helps.
Jorge Fuentes me funciono después de limpiar las dos pompas de gas, en el video no mas limpié una, debes que limpiar los dos lados. 👌🏽si no te funciona eso, debes que comprar otra.
Monty LANE just means ur fuel gauge isn’t working. Maybe u changed to the fuel pump too soon. First U clean both sides like in the video, if doesn’t work, then check to see the wiring harness to the fuel pump is all connected and nothing is wrong, then if still doesn’t work, then you replace fuel pump, at this point since you know the pumps I new, u should check the wiring or fuel tank
Hey bro so i got this code but havent had problem with the fuel guege , it does show fuel level properly, what you think problem is? Should i still do this?
Sarah Well it has been working ever since this video, so far so good, had to do both sides however, in the video I only did 1. If that doesn’t work may e try replacing the fuel pump unit
The blue o-rings usually retain their shape. The black ones expand and are difficult to get back in the groove it is supposed to sit in. You can place it in one side and use a small flathead screwdriver to push it inward while putting pressure on the white plastic cover until you get the metal retaining ring back on.
BeDistinct did you ever get the guage working had this problem for 3 years and 2 sets of sensor dealer thinks its my cluster but im not spending $1200 on a guess. Did you ever solved this?
Sauleh Rahbari good luck worst case it’s the cluster. I got rid of my problem not how I wanted it but someone rear ended me last day in January. RIP I loved that engine great sounding car I had Invidia Gemini exhaust. Thinking about the q60 a lot faster but no where near sounding good like the G35s the main reason I fell in love with this car.
This is the most unprofessional instruction video I ever saw! First he was wrong about the way to take the back sit out..but because it's the only coupe video I kept watching, then he couldn't remember what is the "other" type of screwdriver name is (Philips) I thought no big deal, small technical bump..but when he zoom in on the engine temp' gauge and wondering why the fuel level is stil low..I stopped watching. Nice kids. don't watch!
😂 omg this actually made me laugh. I can’t believe I made that mistake. This was when I first got my first car 2 years ago lol. I apologize for the bad video, but thanks for bringing me back to it.

Just got mine and it has this problem but I’m excited about owning one 🙌🏻
Just bought a G and the gauge was going up and down like it didn’t know what was the real amount! This video is so helpful!
Eduardo Castillo I’m glad it helped!
Eduardo Castillo so you did this and it worked for you? Because mine is doing the same thing
You have to clean both sensors, the passengers side also has a gauge sensor.
I cleaned both and the readings were normal. Hopefully this helps because this is a common issue for the G's
@@PooCamacho did it fix it

Thanks sooo much bro!!!! Man wish I could put 1,000 likes..
Tony Reavis anytime 💯
Bro yeah I was looking for a while thanks for the video keep it up 😭
Angel Thanks brotha!
I ran out of gas twice already going 55 😡now I just keep a gas tank and my bike and my car until I can fix it
You'll get more views over time. Thanks man
leinadcruz96 Thank You! I appreciate it
Definitely helped like always manito!!
Bro I’ve been subscribed for a while and i was looking for a video to solve this problem and just realized your last name is mendoza
To remove the bottom part of the back seats you just lift up, only held for by clips 😐
Knight_C This guy talk like he dosenrt know what hes doing and he drives a automatic
@@24hr6 he doesn't, and you would be one of to say that

🙏
Mine is on empty when the car says it’s at half 😂
Same lol
Facts , thinking bout replacing it
me too bro ran out of gas on the way back home
You should wear your seat belt especially since you do street racing.
Yo bro if you don’t mind me asking you, what gas you put in your car? Premium or regular?
Just saw this, my bad bro, youtube doesn't notify me for everything, but I put Premium 91 or 93 if available.
BeDistinct Good that’s the best way, I know some people literally put regular gas lol.
Man thank you very much i did that and mine is adjusted carefully thank you again
All you had to do is lift the seat from 2 clips an ur done . No need to remove the top. It only takes 3 minutes.
I did this method like 4 months ago. After doing it, my gauge was reading bad. Turned out, it wasn’t my fuel pump. I sent out my cluster and got the fuel gauge fixed. The resistor gets bad overtime
Felipe Garcia Good to know, yea mine fixed a little but it still reading the bad gas level so I might have to do that
Can you elaborate on this please? What cluster are you referring to? Is it the actual gauge in the dash?
KingAndrew5000 yeah the cluster that’s on the dash. There’s like 3 resistors that gets blown out. Maybe depending on where you live, type in “instrument cluster repair” and you might find that are local. I had a few around my area but I sent it out to someone who was able to do it for me quicker.

Naza Iturbide yo pague como $100 pa arreglar el tablero. El tablero tiene la problema.y ya después jalo bien.
Thank you for making this video bro. Big help!!!!
Saturnino Mahusay Glad I could help!
Wait so did it work or not? I'm over getting stranded because I don't know my true gas amount. My G gives me trust issues! 🤦♂
Great vid. I need to do my G coupe.can i use just a fuel additive pour it in my tank to keep it clean?
Austin Bradley i did that and it did help a bit I would say but I stopped using it
I wouldn’t mess with any fuel additives. They are mostly a load of BS and sometimes can mess up your injectors and cause more problems not to mention making the check engine light come on.

love these vids just got a g35 and man i got some work to do! lol
How did you know it was that side ? Mine is reading sensor A is that the same side as yours ??
Yeah my car is reading side A sending unit
Si te funciono haciendo eso bro o no ? Espero puedas responder que yo tengo ese mismo problema y si no te funciono a ti tendría que comprar una nueva
Jorge Fuentes me funciono después de limpiar las dos pompas de gas, en el video no mas limpié una, debes que limpiar los dos lados. 👌🏽si no te funciona eso, debes que comprar otra.
Man I have to clean mine too , thanks for the video fam
Christopher Hawes Jr Anytime!
I changed my fuel pump out and now the gauge is stuck below e. I’ve tried this method and still nothing I get a p0463 code
Monty LANE just means ur fuel gauge isn’t working. Maybe u changed to the fuel pump too soon. First U clean both sides like in the video, if doesn’t work, then check to see the wiring harness to the fuel pump is all connected and nothing is wrong, then if still doesn’t work, then you replace fuel pump, at this point since you know the pumps I new, u should check the wiring or fuel tank
BeDistinct I’ve done that so many times still the same thing
Monty LANE dang, well I guess take to mechanic at this point if nothing is working
Monty LANE sometimes u can get a defective fuel pump, check the floater and everything if not well idk what to tel u bro
I'm just wondering😁 did you fix the problem ?
luis chalacan yes, I had to clean both sides though. I apologize for the late response
@@BeDistinct what do you mean by both sides? Like the one on the driver side?
Hey bro so you ended up taking passenger side and driver side fuel pump and clean them?
Yes do both sides
And how has it work till now?
little tip my gauge is messed up to after you start it give it like 30 mins then it reads the real guage i think idk tho still learning
My car is stuck on limp mode. I changed the TCM and it won’t drive.
Hey bro so i got this code but havent had problem with the fuel guege , it does show fuel level properly, what you think problem is? Should i still do this?
Does it read your gas level good now??
My car says I have half a tank but runs out eventually
My gas gauge went underneath the damn needle. How do I fix that boss
Neo Plasma magnet
Did it work ?
Big help bro thanks for the vid
Try recalibrating your gauges bro put the car in calibration mode if u dont know how hit me up and ill help you
Can you give me tips on how to do that
Can you make a video about it?
How to tell if it’s this or the cluster
i rebuilt my cluster n im still havin the same problem with a bad gas gauge
Mines is stuck over half tank should work for me right? Does it matter where it got stuck at?
Lost One420 the cleaning could fix it, so yea
@@BeDistinct was your guage stuck too or just not reading right?
Lost One420 mine was just not reading right, it was reading too low.
@@BeDistinct I'ma drive a bit it seems my gauge went down a bit this morning I'ma see what's up thanks brotha
Thanks man helped me alot.
JoeEastern Glad it helped!!
do you fix the problem?
Yea, when the car is cold, it doesn't spill that much or anything. My mom's G35X Sedan spilled close to nothing.
well thats good haha
Your gas looked full so is it censor???
Hey man, thanks for the video. Did you find that this worked long term? Did it fix the gas reading long term I mean?
Sarah Well it has been working ever since this video, so far so good, had to do both sides however, in the video I only did 1. If that doesn’t work may e try replacing the fuel pump unit
Bedistinct is the other side the same process?
Genius 💡 Back Seat done
Bar towel and microfiber towel, somebody works in a restaurant.
El g350 tiene dos sensores para el tanque, tienes que limpiar el que está detrás del asiento del conductor.
Esteban Fernández Si, no sabía eso hasta que leí todos los comentarios, muchas gracias amigo 💪🏼
You took off the back seat for no reason bro 😂
Cecil Garcia Pretty Much! It gave me a video to do haha
really? how else can you get to it?
pretty sure you just need the bottom to come out
Wait so did it work for you?
Vex Flows yes but u have to clean both sides
BeDistinct Daily Vlogs alright man thanks. Love the content bro. I just got my g35 but it’s a sedan. Thanks tho fr
Vex Flows i appreciate it bro!
got an engine service soon light after this lol
Popped Plays dead ass ?
Do you have to unplug the battery?
Questraa I did, but not sure if you really have to, but I did.
This video says how to fix and this guy didnt fix chet.! Waste of time.
did you replace your tank oring? Mine stretched out when i started removing the pump.
KingAndrew5000 No mine was fine
The blue o-rings usually retain their shape. The black ones expand and are difficult to get back in the groove it is supposed to sit in. You can place it in one side and use a small flathead screwdriver to push it inward while putting pressure on the white plastic cover until you get the metal retaining ring back on.
Is this the same with a 350z?
Anthony Rivas Not sure to be completely honest with you. I know they share a lot of the same things but not sure man.
Why do you have to unplug the battery do you have to do that before you clean or replace your fuel pump? I have a infinit g35 2003
Why take a chance, 12V in the tank driving the pump. Sparks and gas don't play nice.
@@kimchee94112 Given you have to disconnect the power to the pump before you can even pull it out Id say its not required to disconnect the battery.
Do I have to disconnect the battery before doing this?
Adrian Avalos I did disconnect it
@@BeDistinct you should also pull the fuel pump fuse, run it til it stalls, then no fuel pressure to leave gas in line and spill gas on you
I’m glad for the mute button . Sorry bro
U just need a magnet to to flip at
Does it work for Altima
STEEVE DAVID Nicolas Not sure man.
Clean the other sensor on the driver side
TheZane03 Will do!
BeDistinct did you ever get the guage working had this problem for 3 years and 2 sets of sensor dealer thinks its my cluster but im not spending $1200 on a guess. Did you ever solved this?
dddarien i think I’m just gonna buy a used one off eBay at this point with mileage close enough to mine. It’s $60-120
Sauleh Rahbari good luck worst case it’s the cluster. I got rid of my problem not how I wanted it but someone rear ended me last day in January.

Cars guys who don’t work on there own cars 🥱
So did it work after?
Nixon Lubaba Yes but I had to change both sides, in the video I only did one side. Hopefully this helps!
Ayeeeeee he lit!!🔥🔥🤣
Omg bro yess same
Angel haha yup!
Jajja
Did you have jaw surgery? Jw
