Gas sending unit
Anyone else have this problem,I have a 1986 Bronco XLT with 5.0, I know the sales brochure says it came with a 33 gallon tank, however the gauge on the dash works fine but when it reads a 1/4 tank and I go fill it up I am usually only pumping in about 16-18 gallons (not a bad thing with the way gas prices are now). Also in the winter if it gets down to between a 1/4-1/2 the dash gauge will just dive down below E. Is there a problem with the float or the whole unit, and if it is the float can that be replaced or do I need a whole unit. Any info is welcome, Thanks, Mark

I remember a issue within a range of years where the float itself would leak....letting fuel get inside of it, and f-Ing up the accuracy of the dash gauge.
I have also heard of issues where the wires coming from the sender/pump unit got messed up......usually only after a tank removal/replacement though.
Dropping the tank aint all that hard......I have done it a few times. A lift....or some good jack stands at a minimum, and someone to help out make the job a breeze!
