Gentlefolk,
I am returning to this list after a longish absence, and have a query for your
combined minds.
The fuel gauge in my 3A reads "full" until I've used around 3/4 of the tank.
The needle then comes off the stops, and acts as though the total capacity is
around 3 gallons. That is, when there's about 1 1/2 gallons left the gauge
indicates "half", and when the tank is empty that's what the gauge reads.
Being somewhat electrically challenged, my trouble-shooting to date has been
to remove the sender unit, clean the contacts on the resistor, and clean the
various earth contacts. None of this has made any difference.
Problem: How do I convince the gauge that the tank capacity is actually 12
gallons? And do I have a problem with the gauge, the sender or the wiring in
between ??
Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.
