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. The gas gauge only registered 3/4 tank. So I took the second, newer style fuel sender and the same thing happen, registered 3/4 tank with the arm/float all the way up.
Background: sbc 350, electric fuel pump, autometer gauges.
So is it a gauge issue or float/arm issue? Its not a huge deal but if there is an easy fix before I re-install, its worth doing.
Thanks and Happy Thanksgiving!
