<VV> Gas gauge accuracy

[Matt Nall]

There's an easy way and a slightly more difficult way.

The gas gauge is an ohmmeter, I can never remember which is the high 
resistance,
F or E. You just need to get the right value resistor to put in series 
with the
sender to pull?both readings down. That's the "easy" fix.

The correct solution (somewhat more difficult) is to pull the sender 
and adjust
the float arm.

========================================================

Neds, correct.. a  5 or 10 ohm resistor would probably fix you up!

LM's are 90 ohm at E  [ rod on sender is hitting stop!]  and 0  at F.


Tim, your problem is a WEAK  ground somewhere....

1  try grounding the wire that connects to the sender... does the gauge 
go all the way down to the E ???


 If not...   Clean the dash grounds.


  If that doesn't help....the gauge is bad!

But a resistor may help make it more accurate!
