Reply to "Fuel Sender"

Toby,

disconnect both wires & measure the resistance between them, the resistance should be somewhat less than 200 ohms, depending upon how much fuel is in the tank.

If the resistance is less than 200 ohms, and is approximately correct for the amount of fuel in the tank, then you have an open circuit elsewhere, perhaps a bad ground or a loose wire behind the fuel gage. If the resistance is right around 200 ohms, the sender is stuck at the bottom (or no longer buoyant). If the resistance is very high, in the thousand ohm or meg-ohm range, or even infinite, you have a poor connection or an open circuit in the sender.
