Ive read the posts recently in the GF and one here the other day. This is a problem im determined to figure out.
Considering all the wiring is new, the cluster restored and gauges checked and also grounding out unit and fuel gage pegged the only logical explanation was the sending unit. I have two and I also have a original Mopar. No matter the gauge wont register, with 6 gallons it barely comes up to the empty mark, with ten just about to 1/4 tank.
What I discovered was with the sending unit being held in my hand having jumper wires as I moved the float the gauge worked good. Two floats were brass, one plastic, the float arms all worked freely.
I can only think the float is not moving properly in the tank.
I was wondering could I check float operation in a large container of water or would disel fuel be a better option....Or am I incorrect .....Thanks for any and all help/advise
