Re: IML: Fuel Tank - checking the sending unit



What I've done with a bad float is buy a brass carb float of approximately the same size and make it work.

Of course, if the float is full of fuel, the sender cannot work!   You can
repair this yourself (use a hair dryer to heat the float with the hole at
the lowest point) until no more fuel comes out, then solder up the hole.

The dash fuel gauge worked at first and then it would only
show half full and then barley registered anything with a
full tank. After removing the fuel tank I discovered the
float full of fuel.  I did ground the sender when I checked
it with an ohm meter.

Lupe,

I don't know about repair, but it may help someone give you
better
information if we know how your gauge was acting.  Did it
show full or near
full all the time, as I'd expect with that resistance, or
did it show very
high or low, or act erratically?  Maybe somebody with more
knowledge can
interpret some symptoms.

Good luck.

Michael
