Default Gas Gauge

I hear you about throwing money at a problem and I am not a auto tech, but every time i had this issue it was a sending unit malfunction. I do not think it will shut the engine off as it is an electrical issue from sender to gauge, Ihave had low fuel light and the warning bell and also gauge go to zero, but she kept on running. If a fuel line/ were crimped, it would slow fuel delivery, but the signal comes from sending unit attached to fuel pump. I wish these unit s were like the old Bimmer I had, sending unit in tank, but separate from pump, just pull srear seat cushion and unbolt the unit from tank, lift here out and drop in a new unit and I was home free. I just replaced the fuel filter on my '96 and do not get me started on that one, another PITA.
