Thought I had this thing beat, but I'm still having issues with my fuel gauge.
It registers very little, meaning, if I put in what I think is half a tank, it moves up very little from "E".
I'm pretty sure its the sending unit/pump/float unit or whatever it's called that's in the tank, but is there a way to troubleshoot this with a meter before dropping the tank (again!). I've been doing some reading and get an idea that these things are common to go bad, and all it is is a wiper or something attached to the float and the resistance changes depending on the float position.
can I tap into those wires and check it? what are the wires going into the tanks? Any thing else I can check before dropping the tank.
