Fuel

[neiloakley]

my fuel gauge constantly reads full. any ideas? i dont see how the fuel sender can be stuck at full cos i never put more than i fiver in at a time. Help me

fill to the top and see if it comes back down as the fuel burns :|
any chance it's the clocks?

check the two wires at the sender unit. could be the wrong way around

soz mate. But that wont help. The sender is just a potentiometer. The resistance varies according to the amount of fuel in the tank. If you short the two wires, it will read full, if you disconnect the wires it will read empty. Mine is constantly reading full so i'm guesing it aint the clocks otherwise disconnecting the wires would make no difference.

Is it possible to just change the sender or do i need a new tank?

lucky git mine say empty all the time.
nicer to see full instead of emppty.
you can chnage the sender,or ya can on saabs ne howz,
would of thought they might be spots,but judging how cheap parts are id just get anther tank
