    Gas gauge woes..

    Also something that doesn't make sense to me. The valiant and dart tanks are the same dimensions. But one is eighteen gallon and the other is 16 gallon? That don't make any sense to me

    Gas gauge woes..

    I think you're right. I think the aftermarket ones are all seeming to be shorter or different. I am going to take the original one out of the other tank that was a little longer and put it in. And see if it functions better way its supposed to be. I originally bought a new 1 just to have a nice...

    I will check all these things tomorrow. I got company today and could not go in the garage. I will say I never knew there was a body ground????? Are there two grounds? I only know about the ground that goes from the sender to the fuel line. Are there two grounds? The original line was left...

    It worked fine. I only changed my tank. This is frustrating. So if it works...as in the gauge goes up grounding that wire. What do I check? I know my sender is good.

    Gas gauge woes..

    Temp and amp gauge work perfect. The gas gauge did until I reinstalled the new tank. And I usd the same sender that was brand new that worked before I took it out. . So the wire that goes on the sender.."snaps onto it" ...ground it for a short period. And see if the gauge climbs? If it does?

    Gas gauge woes..

    I installed my new gas tank. Okay...I used my new float sender...which I already had in my old tank that worked fine. I put my new tank in today...with the float that worked. Grounded the wire from the sender tube to the fuel line. Kind of jumping over the rubber hose connection. Now my gas...
