Hello everyone,
I just replaced the fuel tank, sending unit, fuel pump & in-line filter on my 56. How sensitive are the tri-five gauges? The reason I ask, is I have added about 8+ gallons of gas (aka liquid gold) and the gauge needle is just barely in front of the 1st dot (E). Prior to installing the sending unit, I ran a jumper wire to it and moved the float up and down by hand, while watching the gauge to make sure it works.(it did).
some things I have tried--
1.) un-hook the wire @ sending unit, the gauges needles goes past full.
2.) re-attach wire to ground and needle goes back to E.
3.) Added additional ground wire to one of the sending unit screws, but it didn't help.
4.) Slapped bottom of tank with rubber hammer, while helper was in the car watching the gauge and it didn't budge.
5.) tested sending unit before install, to verify gauge / unit works and they did.
Any suggestions??
Thanks in advance,
Ed
