Knucklehead97 Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 Hey guys. I'm looking at a Comanche right now, that seems pretty nice. But theres one problem that I'd like to figure out before I purchased it. The guy said that the gas gauge doesnt work, and that its the floater assembly. But he couldnt find any replacement assemblys for it. Do you guys know of how to resolve this? I'd like to know as fast as possible. Thanks.

jimoshel Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 You're not going to find a new one. Maybe a used one if you're lucky. If the truck is nice otherwise i wouldn't let a non working gas gauge keep me from getting it. Just keep the tank full. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knucklehead97 Posted December 9, 2012 Author Share Posted December 9, 2012 Is there any way that an XJ's floater assembly can be configured into fitting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
btm24 Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 As a last resort there has been some to use a dodge gas tank as a replacement which would fix the miss reading gauge. Here's a helpful link http://comancheclub.com/topic/24894-dakota-gas-tank/ Brandon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knucklehead97 Posted December 9, 2012 Author Share Posted December 9, 2012 It's an 89'. But I havnt bought it. I'm probably going to get it next weekend if the guy still has it, but I couldnt make it up there today. He said all it is is the floater won't float, is there anyway to rig this? By building your own float and attaching it to the assembly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By building your own float and attaching it to the assembly? If the float won't float, and that's the only problem, easy fix. If the sending unit is bad, that's a different story. And BTW, it is called a float, not a floater. Those are found in your toilet bowl after an incomplete flush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knucklehead97 Posted December 10, 2012 Author Share Posted December 10, 2012 Thanks for the reply, and I shall remember to pronounce it correctly :thumbsup: I havnt messed with it myself, but if I get the truck then it's the first thing on my list.
