I installed a auto meter fuel gauge and hooked it up to the sending wire and a 12 volt source and checked the ground by the tank too, but it isn't working right... I saw some threads on here and the net about the bad connections (power and ground) but it pegged the gauge after trying different power and ground sources... I went for a cruise and the gauge dropped down to the 3/4 mark for a while...Could it be a sending unit problem ??


I also checked this morning and it goes to 7/8s of a tank... Maybe i have that much gas IDK i put about $20 in it and drove about 20 miles or so...

Thanks, Mark

Did you try reversing the wires?

I would drive it around some more and see what the gauge does.
