Fuel gauge fail. Options...


Recommended Posts

I pulled my tank to fix a leak at the fuel pump assembly and now my gauge is stuck at past full with 3 gallons of gasoline. It moved ever so slightly when I moved the truck to the other driveway. Other than that it stays put. It wasn't working before I pulled the tank either, just stuck at full but it would move with the key on and then swing back to full when running.

 

I did some searching of the board and tried pulling the ground to see if anything changed and nothing did. Pumps gas fine. The assembly does have a nice sheen of rust.

 

Not that I'll do it anytime soon but could I possibly grind the assembly to clean metal and solder on a new ground? (out of the gas tank of course :thumbsup: )

 

Don't feel like searching the hills for a donor assembly or spending money on an aftermarket gauge or a whole new tank and pump.
