76 C10 Fuel Reading

1 Attachment(s)

My truck is the world biggest optimist. The fuel gage reads full, very full, like the needle is horizontal to the right. Shown as red in the photo. So what do you think, sender unit?

Normal problem you get in each truck, open the lid and clean the complex electrical wiring

Funny, but now my tank is nearly empty and it still reads way past full.

Same deal with mine! Kind of makes u go crazy not knowing how much gas u have. iv changed the gauge, checked the ground, nothing helps.I guess im gonna have to drop the tank.

Re: 76 C10 Fuel Reading

over full seems to be a broken sender wire,hard to say where
(simple test)
ground that wire and it should go to E if everything else is good
