Darn gas guage

[bgndobe]

It's "stuck"..........I guess.
I can't see the needle anywhere (not near the "empty" end or the "full" end.)
Do I have tp drop the gas tank and "unstick" the float to fix this???

Let us know what you find out. After replacing my gas tank, now my gauge is about 1/4-1/2 tank low. I actually watched the gauge go down while I accelerated! My gauge always read low, but not this bad!

With the further aging of these cars and the worsening fuel conditions many different problems can show up in fuel systems. Sometimes I have found the float starts to become saturated with fuel making them a little heavier. This could be why your fuel gauge is reading lower than normal. Assuming all your resistance values are good. Just a thought

my fuel level gauge sending unit crapped out on me, I have the factory U52 digital dash, was just getting two hyphens "--" on the display. per the factory service manual (FSM), used an ohm-meter to get the reading on the wire from the gas tank, which told me "replace", it was a complete open circuit.

got the replacement (digital dash sending unit is different from regular analog dash), installed it at the same time I replaced the pump, and everything was good again.

crappy gas quality for sure, and maybe not driving the car enough?
