hi peeps... I have a question. I feel that my Chevy Optra fuel gauge is having a problem, it's not accurate at all. May I know what's the problem? Have you guys experienced that before.

Plus, my Chevy was running out of water the other day. The temperature went up and air con turned hot. After I refilled it with water, it works fine now. Just the fuel gauge, which is not accurate, sometime goes up and goes down within the range of 1/4 tank-ish.

i need a thorough diagnostic scan because it's not just the meter problem. Sometime it gets overheat real quick.
Let me abridge what was going on.

On a Friday evening, I was rushing to send someone to catch a plane. I drove real quick along the highway. This may expedite the water consumption.
The next day, Saturday morning, it was overheated due to no water. Luckily I managed to fill it up with water from the neighborhood and it worked out fine.
I went to a car workshop rightaway just to solve the problem. The technician told me it's all right after looking at the underneath of my car. He said no water leakage. Perhaps, I may modify to eliminate the HOT-AIR system in my car as I am not going to use it forever. I thought everything is perfect then.

Sunday outing was great and car worked perfectly.

Monday, when I was driving to work. My car temperature shot up again. I quickly went to my friend's house nearby and asked him to drop me off. Luckily he was still at home.
After work, I checked my car, the water tank is not totally empty. It has like 50% of water inside. Just the metal thing shows up above the water level and make it boiling I guess.

Tuesday, Wednesday... I tested it. The car fuel gauge aka fuel meter is so fluctuate.

Today, I didn't drive the car at all.

Any car workshop recommended? Any problem with my car? I always spare some water in my car now, just to prevent it from getting overheated again.
