Re: Fuel Gauge Testing

["Ollie" <satellite1965@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

The fuel gauge grounds itself when you install it in the tank. It is also 
good to install a second ground wire. Solider it to any place on the sending 
unit and attach it to the frame. You can take an ohm reading of the sending 
unit out of the vehicle. Don't do a dummy like me and install the sending 
unit upside down!!

Take off the wire hooked to the sending unit and ground the wire. The fuel 
gauge going to full indicates the sending unit is malfunctioning. A bad 
gauge or wiring issue is probable if the gauge does not go to full. This 
test is done with the ignition switch on.

The faulty "full" reading could possibly mean the gas float has a pin hole 
leak and has some gasoline in it, making it too heavy to rise to the top of 
the tank when filled.

Thanks,
