It all depends on the depth of the tank. The sending unit should float at 90 degrees to read half-full ... if the tank is 12 inches top to bottom, then the sending unit needs to be 90 degrees at 6 inches ... if your "new" tank measures the same, top to bottom, as the old tank, then you should be okay.

Check to see if the resistance readings are close to the same. May be able to get the spec from a GM dealer, or you can test each gauge


There is enough good in the worst of us and enough bad in the best of us that it does not behoove any of us to criticize the rest of us.
