Fuel Gauge Reading Incorrectly
Just seeing if any of you guys have any ideas...
I recently replaced both the tank and sending unit in my truck. Prior to this everything worked correctly, but I replaced them because the tank was smashed and full of debris. I also replaced the sending unit because it was very corroded.
Now my gauge only reads 1/4 tank when full. I have tried 3 new sending units (from 2 differently suppliers) and 2 gauges - all with the same results.
Any ideas?

Yes I agree with Bleuy. Check the gauge, but also check out the ohmns reading in both gauge and sending unit. In my ventures, I once ordered the right sending unit; but, I found out (after a self hair pulling contest! lol ) that the company sent me the wrong unit. Good luck!
