low fuel gas gauge

[Odd]

The delay unit is in the 'low level' light circuit.
Has nothing to do with the gauge reading...

well i switched wires around on sender and gauge went to almost 3/4 and as im driving it appears that it is going down i will keep an eye on it to see what is going on but it is the best i have got so far , so peter if yours is boucing all over the place like mine was u too could have wire different then what they should be, im embarassed to say this because i know nothing except what all u nice folks have told me but it may be worth a shot

Good news.

Mine only swings on roundabouts & hairpins. I might have a play with it over summer though. It would be nice to have a gauge that reads full when I spent all that money on fuel.


Never say die. At least not while you're still breathing.

If I may make a suggestion. The next time you feel like pulling the sending unit from the gas tank, try replacing the float with the cork from a wine bottle. See if that makes a difference in the wanderings of the gauge needle.

Back in the old days before the use of so much plastic, cork floats were commonly used by the manufacturers. One thing for sure, corks are far more resistant to degradation than plastic in modern fuels.
Not to mention, that cork will be a free left over from the bottle.
