GS300 Aristo Swap Fuel Guage Issue!!!
I've got a 98 GS300 with an Aristo Swap. I'm running the complete fuel hanger as well. Since the swap, my fuel gauge has not been measuring fuel properly. I've already gotten stranded with an empty fuel tank and the fuel needle showing a little under half way. After that, regardless of how much fuel is in the tank, the needle does not move at all. I know this is a common problem with most and I've searched for a solution but haven't been able to find one.

it stop the fuel from being siphoned from the passenger side of the saddle fuel tank. that would be the worst thing you can do. im with letsride. something must be wrong with your fuel level float. hanging up on the crossover tube. remember. the aristo fuel tank is the same design and fuel tank capacity as any american lexus gs. there should be no difference. check your fuel pump module for any issues.

are you aware what the sard jet pump killer does?

Yeah its weird. Back when my GS had the stock 2JZGE, it used to run out of fuel when the needle was slightly over the "E" mark. It was like that with two motors. Now that I'm running the 2JZGTE, I feel that it is still the same issue but since the fuel gauge doesn't read correctly, I am unable to tell where about the needle would be if it worked correctly. I've never done anything inside the fuel tank until I swapped this motor in. I've only replaced the stock GE hanger with an Aristo GTE hanger.

Wait...this is a thing? I ask because I only just finished my swap a week ago or so and I remember I did so, so, so much research before pulling the trigger on the project and the only thing that was ever mentioned concerning the fuel pump was dudes either drilling their own return in USDM pump or swapping the JDM pump so your fuel gauge readings WON'T be inaccurate.
And with the OPs issue it seems this isn't actually the case? I haven't had the chance to take the car on anything more than parking lot/service road shakedowns so I don't know how mine's reading yet. I opted for the JDM pump, but it's looking like I might have to do this "top swap" with a spare fuel pump I got with the shell which sucks 'cause who knows how many miles are on that thing...
