93 saturn sc1.When the odometer stoped working i replaced it with another one showing 143.000 miles.the second odometer stoped working 800 miles later.The main reason i use the odometer,is to fill the gas tank every 150 miles,because the fuel gage shows full when i fill it up,but 20 miles later the nedle goes to one quater or less.Please help me solve this problem.Thanks karting. ---

Most likely solution: Replace odometer (with new if possible) and replace fuel level sender. ---

Take the old odometer apart and determine why it failed. If you cannot see the problem yourself, take the head to a speedometer shop and have them inspect the head to see why it failed. If you find out why either unit failed, please post back to let us know. I am curious
