Gas gauge not registering properly

Post by Fall_of_Olympus »

So my tank is FULL. Like, almost spilled out because I wasn't paying attention full. Gas gauge is showing right around a quarter tank. All my other gauges seem to be working alright. My guess would be the gauge itself, but if anyone has any other experience with that, please toss me some info.

Thanks :D

I read through this page, and decided to just replace my sender. It didn't make any difference, and my gauge is displaying a full tank as roughly 5/8 full. In other discussions, this thread was referenced:

and I'm going to pursue this next. My temp gauge reads low and my oil pressure gauge reads high, so we'll see how things turn out when I tweak with the voltage regulator to get the fuel gauge to read properly.

Cheers,
