My fuel gauge has always read 1/4 tank low Tested the gauge by earthing out the wire on the sender and it goes to full So i guess the sender is out Just wondering if maybe the wire arm that holds the float might be bent causing the error Just asking if anyone has had similar issues Before i go by a new sender |

Is your temperature gauge accurate? |

Float could have a hole in it. |

I would test the fuel tank sender ohms readings first. I think its around 260 ohms to 20 ohms??? Will have to go through my files to confirm. With an empty tank you should be able to raise the float with a wire or coat hanger. There is an example here. http://www.gomog.com/allmorgan/FuelSend ... ching2.pdf |

Whilst your checking things, check that you have 10v going to the sender and not 12v. My voltage stabiliser (found behind speedo) was faulty and sent 12v to the fuel gauge sender, causing it to read a quarter of a tank when empty. |
