It started working on its own?

My B-body fuel gage has been out for last 3 years at least. Yes, its been a lower priority. But got some of the engine bay work done. And nothing that has anything to do with fuel, and/or fuel tank. I ran car out of gas in my driveway. I pushed it into garage. Put in 1 gal from can. Then drove to station and put in 3/4 tank.

The fuel gage started working. And it appears to be accurate. I have a new fuel sending unit. And was going to replace, but today? I cannot get to fail.

WTF?

Cracked float. No fuel so it drained and then floated again when you got gas will sink again in time. Hope I'm wrong ...

Mine quit after sitting through the winter last year. Figured the float filled up.

I think you might be right. Does explain. Especially if fails again.

Use the new float from your replacement sender and reuse the original sender if you want it to be accurate. I did the same thing.
