[FC] Gas Gauge Problem

[Aaron Walker]

My gas gauge read above full at all times the ignition was in the run
position. If I turned it off, it would read empty, but whenever it was
in run, it would read totally pegged out full. Turned out to be a poor
ground. Make sure that your tank's sender is grounded and see what it
reads then. Don't count on your tank straps to maintain electrical
contact, either, that caused me to have a fascinating "intermittent
function fuel level device" for a couple weeks.

Hi All,

I have never had a problem in the past with my fuel gauge, but after
reintalling it in the fuel tank it now reads past the full mark.  When I
first put in five gallons of gas it read correctly, a little over one
forth.
Today when I checked it reads past the full mark.  Do I have a bad
connection or a poor ground?  Or did the sender go bad?  Looking at the
shop
manual it says to check the spanner nut on the plug receptical for
tightness, which I did not do.  Before I remove the fuel tank again, I
would
like your opinions as to what to look for.

Thanks,  Don
