Re: Fuel guage

Maybe you bent the bar the floater is on? This is pretty common for the guage to mess up after a fuel pump change.

Re: Fuel guage

just changed my pump out also, had to bend the pickup to match the old, but everything seems to be fine, found this web-page that will tell you how to check with ohm meter, hope it helps. did you drop the tank or go in from the top.

Re: Fuel guage

did it from the top with a sawzall, then put plumbers goop around the edge so it wont rust even though i dont drive it in the winter, it worked out great cuz the float fell off when i put the sending unit back in
