gas gauge

Take the sending unit wire off the gas tank and ground it to a good ground. The dash guage should swing one way. Then take it off the ground and let it hang in the air. The dash guage should swing all the way opposite scale. This is a good test for the wiring and the guage. If it passes this test, something must be wrong with the sending unit.
