it just did this for the first time. Had an 1/8th of a tank. Went in and filled it up. Saw gas at the top too! Turned the key on & just barely over 1/2. Guess I'm gonna need to check out the sender... damn!
What else could it possibly be, right? ........b <_< |

If you have (or had) rust in your tank then the sender is probably rusted too. When I took mine apart the center post the float rides on was rusted. I carefully sanded the center post with some fine emery cloth and got the float moving again. I'm not sure what that post was made of or if it had some sort of coating at some point but it seems to work now. Not sure how quickly it will rust again but it was easy enought to take apart. If it lasts a few more years before I have to sand it again I'll be happy.
