Default Re: Fuel Gauge

I just rejiggered my gas gauge and tank. The gauge works off resistance. So as the gauge moves, it provides less and less resistance. Like GMCV6inND said, you need to pull it out (stick a rag in the opening for the fumes) and run the arm up and down while all the wires are connected. See if it registers.

If it stops at 1/4 tank then clean off the grounding screw on the back wall. Better? No?
See if the little wires are broken on the sending unit where the arm runs up and down. Mine was on my first one.
You have to pop the little cover off to see them. It only takes a pair of pliers.

It's a simple system so troubleshooting is just a matter of good connections. Let us know what you find!

Some people are like slinkys. Not worth much but funny as heck when pushed down stairs.
