fuel guage stopped working... please help

Forum: 

hi all

my fuel guage has just given up working... heard loud knock when off roading then a smell of fuel, after that the smell stopped and the guage rose by about a quarter of a tank and has bin there ever since. It still goes down and back up again when the engine is turned on and off but other than that... nothing.

I was wondering if anyone had some instructions or know where i can get some, to show me how to drop the tank so i can check the sender and things?

appreciate any help

thanks

Check connection

It is best to check the cables that connect the gauge to the fuel sending unit before thinking of replacement. It is possible that the cable needs to be cleaned or it is not properly connected. Otherwise the fuel sending unit will have to be checked or replaced.
