"Racing in a honda is like the special olympics, even if you win, you're still retarded."
either of those will require some manipulation to get into the tank (the arms dont like to go in easy, just requires some patience and some wiggling)
if u decide to clean it, take your out (it looks like a metal cylinder and dismantle it, i would find some way of marking how the float goes on cuz it does matter) once apart take a cleaner (not sure what type as i replaced mine) and clean off the metal contact leads, then reassemble
BEFORE you drop it back in have someone start the car and slide the float up and down the sensor to check for proper function
Will that fix the secondary gas gauge? My gas light and the 2nd gas gauge don't work.
More than likely, they do. It's doubtful you've ever gotten low enough to see them. What's the most gallons you've ever put in?

About 17.. I've driven around with the main gauge WAY past E for about 40 miles or so numerous times to see if it would kick on. The gas light and the secondary gauge have never kicked in.

Weird. You're one of the few that appears to have this problem.

I have pulled the fuel level sensor out and mine looks nothing like that... I also have the same problem, I'll get to about a quater of a tank left of gas and the the gauge will just stop reading untill more fuel is put in and also if the gas gets too low the arnig lamp and the car doesn't say anything, I forget what it's called.
its a metal cylender in side is a strip of metal with a slider that floats and reads your gas level. on top of the metal cylender is a tab with 4 wires soderd on it red black green and i think yellow.
