Slant Temperature

Alright.

#1) Gas guage is now off by how much I don’t know. I had a half a tank four days ago.....been about 60 miles and still have a half a tank. That’s not correct because I know I should have less than that.

#2) Fluid is nice and green and clean.

#3) Fluid temp at the radiator is 228 degrees. Turned it off before it got hotter

The first part has to be electrical because my gas guage should be less. Guess I’ll go get a pump and thermostat since the pump is original from 65.

The sender or gauge is shot.

Does the fuel gauge read accurate?
Having a electrical short on the incoming side of the batt feed can throw ALL the gauges off. Sometimes they might recover.. but usually they need replaced or recalibrated.

I think it's just the sender, because that's the norm... but those old gauges ...

Would this be on the gauges themselves on the back or somewhere along the route to the tank/sending unit at thermostat housing?
