Fellow members,
Recently, I purchased a 1968 datsun roadster 2000. Temp gauge wasn't working
and fuel gauge was floating at half a tank. I changed out the temp. sending
unit, thermostat housing, water outlet and put in a new drop voltage
regulator. Temp. gauge now works as it should, but fuel gauge needle goes up
just a smidge past the E (empty) mark on the gauge when I turn the ignition on
or star up engine. I thought at first that maybe...or hopefully, I do have an
empty gas tank. So, I went to the gas station and put in almost 6 gallons of
gas and the tank was FULL. I opened up the access panel to the fuel sending
unit and removed the wire connectors. I lightly sanded the tarnish off of the
brass or copper nipples and reconnected the wire connectors to the nipples. I
still have the same reading on the fuel gauge where the needle moves up to the
E mark and then stops. Does anybody know what's going on or what I should do?
Should I take the fuel sending unit out? And can I take the fuel sending unit
out with a full tank of gas? Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
