gas gauge

Ok, so after the infamous NJ fuel spill that took 4 days to control, I pulled the leaky fuel tank. Since the original tank had an actual hole in the side, I got another used tank but in good usable condition. While the sender was out, I hooked it up and moved the arm/float as if it were full...

This will be one of the things on my to do list this week to see if either or both are in working order. First question, with the gauge can I apply a full 12 volts to it to make it deflect or will that burn it out? If 12 volts is too much what's the best method with the instrument cluster out...

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...

I have a 91 land cruiser and the gas gauge reads sometimes. When I fill up it reads full for awhile then after driving it goes to 0 or to half. If the level if anywhere above half it'll indicate randomly, but once its below half it reads 0. Low fuel light still works as it should. Any insight to...

I have a 79 FJ40. The gas gauge only displays from 1/4 to 3/4 so I'm not sure how much gas is actually in the tank. The horn has never worked either. I've checked the fuse and cleaned the horn contacts under the hood. I've read the posts on gas gauge issues and they all talk about the gas gauge...

I just replaced all the bulbs in my dashboard and a new light came on. It's right below the gas gauge and is a solid orange square. I've tried resetting the battery, filling up with fuel but I can't get it to go away. It's bright, doesn't dim with the rest of the back lights. Any insight would...

I am at my wits end. I have replaced the sending unit twice, one used and the latest is brand new. I have pulled the instrument cluster and measured the gauge per the FSM. It all checks out, but the gauge will only go to half full. Once the tank is about half full, the gauge starts working...

Could I have bumped something down there?? Seems like quite a coincidence.

Hi I checked out the faulty gauge mentioned in my https://forum.ih8mud.com/80-series-tech/365673-my-lc-80-thread.html and offer the following to help others in the future: WARNING: You are opening a fuel tank, once opened the fumes could be ignited from quite a distance away from the car...
