Can someone post directions or instructions on how to check out a fuel/gas guage? I have two that don't work, and I'm getting tired of guessing how much is in the tank. (One has a curved filler neck, so you can't see to check, the other has a tapered and stepped bottom, so even looking down into the tank doesn't tell you much. Need to get those fuel guages fixed!

Thanks

Believe it or not , here in Canada , some cars (I believe mostly GM) have had their fuel gauges damaged by an agent in the gasoline ( I believe either Shell or Petro-Canada). I believe the problem is being corrected by either the car company or the refiners. Just thought you would like to know.

If it is an electric gauge, just find the resistance specs for the gauge and sender. Pull the sender and check that. Most will probably run a range of 15 up to 250 ohms, with a steady ascent or descent through the range. If the descent is even, I wouldn't worry too much about the exact values. The gauge will have a similar range of values, depending on the location of the indicator needle. Also check all the wires in the system. I recently had a bad sender. Some of the wires were busted in the rheostat. It would read to a certain point, then the circuit would open. You might find a similar problem. Good luck.

I assume you've never tried it?
