Hi All,

I've just started working on my fuel sending units and tested both outside

the tank, attached to a fuel gauge. They are the stock Stewart Warner and

Vans gauge. One has a drop out, to empty, at about 3 gallons on the gauge,

the other at 12 gallons, then comes back. Should I send them back or is

normal for all at some point or does it really matter.

Thanks,

Paul

I assume that my sender units are Vans and the original fuel gauges were

empty at around 1/8 and 1/4 from empty. Not ideal. I replaced the fuel gauges

with newer Vans units and they are fine where it counts (below ten gallons

and probably under 15). Despite having a fuel totalizer I consider accurate

gauges at the lower end to be important.

I just tested my Van's gauges with the SW sending units. At 2.5gal they read 2.5 gal. At 5 gal the left gauge read 4.5gal, the right read 6 gal. In my opinion, an erratic reading is unacceptable & probably indicates a faulty sending unit. An erroneous but consistent reading can be corrected by a placard.
