Sorry to bother you, but can anyone tell me if there is a way to check a fu=
el sending unit, without taking it out of the tank?=C2=A0 I'm working on a =
Morgan and the fuel gauge is not working - needle does not move at all.=C2=
=A0 All the wires are attached at both ends, so unless there is a broken wi=
re someplace in between, it has to be either the sending unit, or the gauge=
, right?=C2=A0 The sending unit is easy to access, but not if you have to t=
ake it out of the tank.
Thanks.
Jack

ground the sender wire. turn ign on. the gauge should go to full. if it
does sender is bad and gauge is most likely ok, but if it's old may still
need recalibrating.

its just a variable resistor. The electrical part of smiths sender units
are common across zillions of Pommy cars, typically 400 ohm empty

here is a "how to test it" guide
