half full shows empty
hey yall,
I have a 85 f150 with dual tanks and ever since i have owned the truck the fuel gauge slowly drops to empty when there is still about half a tank of gas. This happens on both tanks. does anybody know if there is a simple solution to this problem. i have replaced the fuel gauge with one from the local junk yard and it behaved the same way. any suggestions would be welcomed.
thanks.

Check for a soldered connection in the wiring near the front tank. It will have 2 wires soldered to 1 wire and it is connected to the sending unit. My truck acted the same way, even with a new sending unit so I inspected the wiring and found a very corroded connection.
