wonky fual gauge

Forum: 

The fuel gauge on my 93 sportrak reads all over the place, even at idle, any clues?

fuel gauge

There is a common problem where both the fuel and heater gauges go off scale on a full tank of fuel. Happened to me once in 500,000 kms of driving F75s. Your problem is probably a faulty sender unit in the tank as the gauge set up is fairly simple with a couple of resistors which create the off scale problem.

It could also be a faulty connection at the tank or a damaged rear harness - another common problem. If it is the harness check around the back left hand corner of the car where the harness often wears.

fuel tank sender

Is the sender unit accesable without dropping the tank?

The temp guage seems to be ok.

thanx for the reply

Other than this (and a few other) minor niggles i am well pleased with the vehicle.

Nope, you have to drop the ta

Nope, you have to drop the tank to access the sender, a pretty easy job.
