Fill the tank up fully and then report back with what the gauge does then.

Might be a dodgy sender unit.
Not giving you the correct fuel reading.

Swap the 2 wires coming out of the sensor around?

They tend to wear out, nothing much you can do except replace the sender.

Bit of a bodge, but can't you put it back in upside down if it works that way..? Maybe it was put back in the wrong way before...?

What kind of fuel sensor is it? Has it got a float with an arm? If so, try putting the float into a container of fuel and see if it floats properly. I had a problem with a fuel sender recently; I tried it in a bowl of water and it floated ok but wouldn't float in fuel.

I have the same problem --- please can someone tell me where I find the sensor so that I can test it out or replace it?

Thanks,

Nick Goldman (newbie)
