Black Brad Posted July 30, 2012 Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 How hard is this to change and does a new one come with a new fuel pump? My gauge is innacurate, sometimes it moves weird, and I've had it run empty on me with a 1/4 tank..been stuck a couple times. Sometimes its fine, some times its not.

SVTurbo 98 Posted July 31, 2012 Report Share Posted July 31, 2012 The sending unit in the fuel tank is most likely causing your problem. It's separate from the fuel pump. It is easy to change as long as you are capable of dropping the fuel tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnyxCobra Posted July 31, 2012 Report Share Posted July 31, 2012 Mine did the same thing, ran out twice. replaced the float in the tank, same bs. So i filled it up, pulled the needle off and lowered it. now when it gets around 1/8 i fill up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Brad Posted July 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2012 soooo replacing the float didnt actually work, which I guess would mean theres something wrong with the gauge? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnyxCobra Posted July 31, 2012 Report Share Posted July 31, 2012 Maybe, I really don't know. I just know in the past when the gauge gets low it seems to move around a lot and read inaccurately.does anyone know if there is a certain way the float is supposed to go into the tank, or does it not matter?

Det_Riot Posted July 31, 2012 Report Share Posted July 31, 2012 Beats me but i'm having this same problem, gonna drop the tank and replace the pump and sender all at once. What year is your car brad? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silverv6 Posted July 31, 2012 Report Share Posted July 31, 2012 Pull the cluster pop the needle off and move it down when its full or empty and it will help.. I have to fill mine up when its below 1/4 because we didnt put it on right after changing the bulbs.. Ill get around to fixing it sometime.. I go by my gas light.

OnyxCobra Posted July 31, 2012 Report Share Posted July 31, 2012 the no gas light really gets me. Every time I tell someone that they go huh? The reason i moved my gauge when it was full was because the needle would go past the full mark, then i just moved it down to right on the full line to give me a lil extra.

Twista Posted July 31, 2012 Report Share Posted July 31, 2012 I think the foxes have gas lights right? Just not the sn95's. I was running out of gas to much so i had a new sending unit installed and everything is perfect now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
