Hey Guys - I have a 72 custom Camper. This week I was pitting in ten bucks worth of gas and my son and wachted the fuel gauge go all the way to full and is stayed there. Since it's all original I figure the gas gauge went bad. I just put the new one in and now it reads wayyyyy past the full position...almost up side down. I know I put the gauge in right because of the dummy lights. Wiring looks fine (but not tested) where should I go from here??? Thanks

Re: Another Fuel Gauge Problem
Most common two simple things in the fuel system that get meesed up is the wire shorting out under the sill plate on the D/S and loss of ground at the tank. Removal of the seat and checking the float for proper OHMS thru the range of E to F would be next on the list. Believe there is a FAQ on fuel gage T/S. Good luck, post what solves your problem.

Re: Another Fuel Gauge Problem

I'm with Sammy on this one. Another thing you could check is the ground wire on the back of the instrument cluster. It clips onto a sheet metal tab under the dash. It may have had a bad connection before, but you may have knocked it off completely while you were working on it. LockDoc
