    fuel gauge issue

    Working on a 77 fj40 the fuel gauge works intermittently. It reads the correct amount of fuel sometimes and other times does not, even if I don't move the the truck. Seems to be a hard one to pinpoint what is going on any help would be great. Thanks!

    Fuel gauge with full tank reading empty/ flashing low fuel light. Engine dyes two miles later.

    99 100 series new fuel pump for E85 fuel two months old. No previous issues… Stop for gas 1/2 tank, top off and leave. Fuel gauge reading full then went empty and low fuel light was flashing… so odd. Stop / shut down restart and same fuel gauge go up, then down and low fuel light flashing. Ok...

    fuel gauge question

    I have a 67 with original cluster and gauges. I just put in a new tank with new sending unit and now the fuel gauge reads full 100% of the time. I swear I read somewhere that the new sending units don't match up with the old gauges because the voltage output is different. Am I imagining that I...

    Temp and Fuel Gauge Short?

    Hello Folks! I've always had a temp gauge that sometimes like to peg itself out above hot, even though the truck is running fine. It will do it maybe once every 30 minutes, for 30 seconds or so. Not that big of a deal, but I noticed yesterday that the fuel gauge did the same thing (pegged...

    Another fuel gauge not working…

    New to me ‘72 55. Going through some immediate issues. Would love to have a functional gas gauge. I think I have read through maybe 20 threads on this issue. My float/sender is functioning properly (checked with ohm-meter) Contacts on the back of the gauge look clean, the ebrake and charge...

    Fuel gauge calibration point

    I'm hoping to catch some more input by putting this in its own thread. Relating to my solid state regulator project, but this could also help with others who don't go with the upgrade once it's available. What I'm trying to do is figure a good point for baseline calibration of the fuel gauge...

    Gas Gauge woes

    Hey all, I have a problem with my gas gauge staying stuck at full after a fill up until some inconsistent amount of time when it finally reads correct. As of now, I have done 195 miles on a tank and it says i still have a full tank of gas. I replaced the sending unit in the gas tank and it...

    Fuel Gauge Accuracy

    How typical is it for the fuel gauge to be inaccurate on the 80 Series when everything "looks" to be in good condition? Trying to determine if I am chasing results that are not realistic before doing the FSM procedure to test everything. My gauge often says there is less fuel than I really...

    FZJ80 Fuel gauge inaccurate readings

    Hi Fellas, I own a 96' FZJ80 GXL 4.5l and I've been having some trouble with the main fuel gauge giving me inaccurate readings. I live in Australia so it's a right hand drive vehicle if it matters. But when I filled up recently the fuel gauge pegged at above full and hasn't moved until now that...

    Fuel Gauge Updates but Sticks After Ignition

    Fuel gauge updates on ignition to read correctly but does not go down with gas use and sticks after the truck is turned off (until fired up again -- can't remember if that is normal). Since it reads correctly on igntion I am guessing it is not the sender .. probably electric then? or am I way...

    Fuel Gauge is acting wonky

    I changed the alternator and battery in my 2002 100 series and my fuel gauge has been acting up. I filled up the tank then drove over 250 miles and my tank reads that it is almost half full with the fuel light coming on. I then went to the gas station and I put in another full tank of gas...

    Fuel gauge calibration: Advice please.

    Hi guys, Some help please. My 1988 FJ62 had temperature problems for a while, and I cleaned the points on the fuel gauge side as recommended. However, in the end we diagnosed a leaking top gasket. I was recommended by local knowledge to the supposed Cruiser experts, and an engine overhaul...
