Before I install my fuel tank is there a way to bench test the fuel level sending unit?
Thanks Brian |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) Just went through this. The inside of the sender has a float that "rides" on two wire strands, a third wire, usually 25 gauge copper, connects the top and bottom of the sender. This wire frequently breaks; don't know why. If it is broken, the low-fuel light will not function. It is easily replaced and only needs a drop of solder at each end to repair or replace
