Re: fuel sending unit not working right

Is the float stuck? My internal float on my sending unit wasnt working, read the same thing all the time. Took it all apart and the little half round plastic float that moves up and down and sends signals to the gauge, was a little tight(wouldnt move up or down). So took the float out and sanded in down and now it works great.
