Nope still only 1/4 after filling to the top.
Do I need to bend with the the float rod or could the problem be the guage?
The guage doese move down after about 2 gallons are used but there it sits at
the 1/4 mark.
Help !

Remove the ground from the sending unit and turn the key on. The gauge should go past full about the 3 o clock position. If it does not, I would suspect the gauge is sticking and won't move past the 1/4 mark.

It seems odd to me that you changed the sending unit to correct the problem and still have the same problem. I would not bet on the float being in the wrong position. It is possible but not likely.

Let me know if you need a gauge. I have some in my inventory.

Thank you,
Tom
