<div>Thanks for the reply. The gage drops to zero when either wire is removed from the sending unit.</div>

<div>All:</div>
<div>Any info on sending unit resistance (even from other Triumph lines such as the TR4, 250, 6) would be appreciated - I am guessing that the same supplier (Smiths) was used for multiple lines and that the values would be somewhat similar.</div>

<div id="yiv8842995916m_142164537886806319yiv9269333458">
<div dir="ltr">Greetings all. Long time since I've posted, my car has, up till yesterday, been behaving itself nicely. Yesterday the driver's door glass dropped off of the window regulator as I was trying to wind up the window prior to backing out of the garage. Then later the same day the fuel gauge suddenly displayed well past a full tank. The tank is at about 1/3 to 1/2 full.
<div><br clear="none">
</div>
<div>The water temp gauge is reading correctly so I am thinking the bimetal voltage stabilizer is OK. I checked the connections at both the tank and gage. I checked that the ground lead at the tank was grounded. I am measuring about 67ohm across the sending unit terminals. The Bently manual is worthless on this subject - simply stating that there is no repair to either gage or sending unit and replacement is the repair method. No resistance values given for empty and full tank. Frustrating. Before I order a fuel tank sending unit, does anyone know what the ballpark resistance values might be? What am I forgetting to check? </div>
<div><br clear="none">
</div>
<div>TIA. Off in digest mode awaiting your answers.</div>
