I only had to try the first 2 steps to determine I had a leaking float. When I pulled the sender from the tank gas started leaking out of the float. Must say this was an irritation/surprise as I bought a brand new replacement sender with float 10 years ago. Never expected it to start leaking.

I just used the "search" on the left here and there are a whole lot of responses to "testing the gas gauge" and "testing+gas+gauge" ... you may find it.

It's the most accurate one you can get and is only about $30 or so.

He thoughtfully left us all a link above.
That is the ultimate reference for gas gauge headaches. | | |
