After installing the unit, it didn’t seem to correspond with what I thought was in the tank. I pumped the tank out, and it still reads ¼ full!</div><div class="yiv7689682087MsoNormal"> </div><div class="yiv7689682087MsoNormal">Thinking I had maybe installed it in the wrong orientation, I found the following quote from Rich Chrysler. Being from Rich, I am assuming it is correct:</div><div class="yiv7689682087MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New";"> </span></div><div class="yiv7689682087MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New";">The fuel sender is fitted with the screw terminal toward the back of the </span></div><div class="yiv7689682087MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New";">car, placing the float forward to the deepest and closest point to the pick </span></div><div class="yiv7689682087MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New";">up tube.</span></div><div class="yiv7689682087MsoNormal"> </div><div class="yiv7689682087MsoNormal">Reading the above, it would follow that the sending unit would have the terminal at one end and the pick-up arm at the other. Problem is, this unit has them both on the same end. And, yes – I could just turn it around so that the float is in the front, but that isn’t solving the problem. It does read closer to empty, but not completely.</div><div class="yiv7689682087MsoNormal"> </div><div class="yiv7689682087MsoNormal">This all raises the question: are these units being made differently now, or did I get the wrong unit shipped to me?
