Gas gauge off by 1/4
Well just took my babes stomach out a while back...(her tank)
I had to take the tank off which wasn't hard other than loosening the rusty nuts of the rusty bolts on the outer ends of the straps.
Boy look how clean she's been in the tank! I imagined everything brown and dirty. Well after examining the fuel sender...there are two things that might be the problem the second noticed being the most probable cause of the issue...
For those of you who have examined one up close, up on top of the piece that has wire wrapped all around seemed like there is a bit of corrosion where the little metal strip runs up and down reading...then I noticed that the end of the little metal strip (and I will use moparfreaks picture because it is very clear, thank you XD) well that metal end seems to have worn out to half...
So as that little metal travel up when it gets empty, I assume due to corrosion plus that metal strip being worn out by half leaving it like two little horns instead of a circle ...it doesn't read on top...
Solution...due to this being so fragile to try and repair a worn out piece...buy a new friggin sender :angry7:
Lol I'm gonna see if a bud of mine has his donor valiant still, it's a 67, yall think it's the same sender?
