When I put fuel in my car the guage on the dash is stuck a half tank
SOURCE: gas gauge reads empty but tank acts like it's full
I also have a 04 with a 1.8L. same problem. I took the fuel regulator off. It is a black box behind the rear tire under car. It only has 2 bolts to take off. After that there is a couple of vent hoses from the tank going to this box. Unplug them and 1 electrical connection. The electrical connection and one vent is connected to a T connection on the box that you can unplug by twisting on the T. Take that T off and look inside where you unplugged the hose on this T. There is a spring and a little plunger inside this tube. The plunger gets stuck. I took a little screw driver and some PB blaster and worked that plunger back and forth a couple dozen times and it unfroze. Put it back together gassed up just fine. I did not look but I was told regulator can be replaced for 200$. But a can of blaster is cheaper.

hi, try to check if the fuse is ok, if not then you must have some problem on your fuel sending unit, you may need to replace it for it may be faulty, it happens when its too old, hope this helps.
SOURCE: fuel gauge doesn't work. went on vacation
Hit the top of the dash with your hand. if not you will have to check the wiring before you can tell if it is the fuel gauge or sender in the tank. This is not a commen problem.
