Fuel gauge fixed!!
Been working on brother-law's 72-gas gauge only showed 1/4 tank when full-done the usual checks (disconnected the wire at tank-hand went to full-grounded wire-it went to empty-gauge checked good--right?) Removed and checked sender--only 42 ohms at full-bad sender-right? Had Tim send me a new one--it showed 38 ohms-Tim said bring it back-I did-another new one showed 38 ohms-bad also-right? "WRONG"---Come to find out I had been useing the wrong mark on my meter

Hey Howard, I am glad you found the problem. Jody said you all was checking the new ones at the store.

What was the gauge originally doing? Did it go to 1/4 when full and then the needle would not drop until the tank got below 1/4? Or did it go from 1/4 to empty gradually as the tank emptied?
The reason I ask is I have the 2nd condition and the fix-a-gauge website says the fix is for gauges displaying the 1st condition. I'd like to be able to just do the fix-a-gauge, but mine might be from a different cause.

Yes to the 1st question.
