1994 Cadillac Deville V8 Automatic 260000 miles

My gas meter doesnt work and it hasnt since I bought it. When I first bought it it was on E anyway so I had no way of knowing it was defective but I drove to the nearest gas station and filled it up and it still says E. I have a digital dash so I dont know if its a computer gliche or malfunction or if the floater isnt working properly is there anyway of knowing?

Hi:
Chances are the float assembly in the tank is faulty. It is an integeral part of the pump, so it's not a cheap fix. The only way to be sure would be to lower the fuel tank and check output voltage from the float. It should change based on the float level.
