Put in used fuel pump

Tested sending unit out of the tank and it worked. Put in tank the way it fit the best and put 2.5 to 3 gals in tank and it doesn't read.

Is there a certain position that pump has to be in tank?

Gonna try a few more gals of gas after supper and see if it moves.


96 F250 7.5 liter. front tank.

Thanks

If the pump/sender is not for that size fuel tank it will read off.

Well I think the pump is okay. Ran to gas and put 10 gal in. The guage worked.

Empty must read 2-3 gals. Thanks anyway.

Now I can drive a little longer before emptying my wallet.
