Default radiator fan squeaks...

please!!! help me out anyone!...i have a 94 acura interga gsr and i just have recently replace my a/c fan motor and now my a/c works now but now the radiator fan is making a squealing noise whenever i put the a/c on and it sounds like it might be coming from the radiator fan motor. Can anyone tell me what it could be? i also have another problem....my gas gauge is completely inaccurate. whenever i fill up my tank all the way up..the gauge does not go all the way to the full mark. it only reaches to the midway mark. and whenever it reaches the empty mark..i go ahead and refill it all the way up to a full tank but that shouldnt be right cuz i already had a full tank and it should of only taken me a half of tank to refill it. any help will be helpful....thanks

I would have to hear the fan squeak to diagnose it. Generally, turn the fan by hand and see where it rubs, or if you can feel it seem to hang up a bit at a certain spot.....sometimes will rub against a wire or something else....

As a practical measure, if empty really means empty........that's not too bad.... It's worse when it says you have gas and you really don't..........
Have you done anything recently to the fuel pump...sometimes when they are put back in, the gas gauge float is off to one side and gives an inaccurate reading.

If the car sat for a while the copper wire on the sender inside the tank might have some corrosion on it.
---------------------------------
I always carry a 3 gallon can of gas for emergencies.
For people who think they will get hit or need something to worry about.....I don't recommend that they carry any gas at all.....not even in their gas tank.-Bob

Gas gauge problem:
Your fuel sending unit is bad. Under the back seat of your car you will find it. Remove it and check for these readings with a ohmmeter
Full position 2 to 5 ohms
Half position 25.5 to 39.5 ohms
Empty position 105 to 110
Make sure nothing is binding when doing checks. If you dont get these readings REPLACE it.
