Check your electrical connections. When you remove the sender, does gas
drain out of it?

Subject: [DML] repairing OEM fuel sender


I took a stab at repairing my OEM fuel sender last night. I have discovered
that there are a lot of little things that go wrong inside of these --
mostly from fuel residues causing bad electrical connections.

The only problem that I have left is that it took 3 miles worth of driving
for the gauge to make it from empty to full (or should we call that 4/4?)

Do these floats get less buoyant with age? I don't think it is likely that
I have the sliding contacts on the resistive wire too tight. And I'm sure
the float isn't jamming mechanically because it moved freely while dry.

Any ideas?
