Default Fuel sender problem
This the 2nd time? I have a fuel gauge not working. It is on full all the time, it worked for 8 hrs. Then quit. My 1st time question here covered all of the normal things.Ground, connections,etc. Digging a little deeper. What???

I had a bad gauge and proved it by swapping...Van's sent me a new one free of charge.

you could also use you DVM (digital volt meter) to check out the sender depending on resistive or cap sender....
