well i wish that was true...my gas gauge thinks so though

i was driving around with about 3/4 of a tank and next time i looked at my gas gauge, it was all the way full and has been ever since last night

i have no clue where to start o this one..could it be a wiring problem or bad sender?

thanks
nic



p.s. if i dont reply back, come looking for me on the side of the road when i unknowingly run out of gas

 

Well keep her full, I would say the sending unit, that's what they usually are in a vehicle that has this problem.

 

Mine got stuck on full and I had to drop the fuel tank to fix it. Thought the sending unit was bad, but the float had somehow gotten wedged in the top of the tank. Once I got it out, I had to bend the float down just a bit and it's been fine since then.

 

Mine did that too after taking off from a dead stop really fast. The fuel flew backwards and lodged the float under the metal circle at the very top of the tank. It was the first thing to come out when i pulled the assembly out of the tank.

No matter whats wrong, nows a good excuse...er time to do the hutch mod.

 

I do know if the harness is shorted to ground the guage will peg to fuel. Just a thought..

 

Opps, Peg to full not fuel. My fault, that can be checked by disconnecting the sending unit from the harness, if it stays full its in the harness if it drops to empty its the sending unit.

 

twags-now that you say that i think it was right after i took off real fast in a boost launch


looks like the hutch mod is on the list

 

Yup, and I was around 3/4 tank when it happened to me. Bet the first thing that comes out of the top of the tank will be the float for the sender. These things take off quick when you launch in 4wd. My brother didnt listen when I told him to sit back. Luckly it was only the back of the seat his head smacked off of....and not the back window.

 

looks like i will be dropping the tank


i know someone on here (cant remember who) used what he called a clear filter from wal mart or something like that????? when he did the Hutch mod...what is this and is it adaqueate for a filter when i do the hutch

 

The kit I got came with a clear filter. I cant remember who I got it from, though it was a site sponsor. In the six months its been on, the the filter looks clean, and theres a few pieces of what looks like sand and rust flakes in the bottom of the filter.

 

if you culd, could you find where you got that kit?


thaknks

 

I would use this for your pre-pump mods...great quality here: http://www.itpdiesel.com/store.php?c...on=show_detail

Funny thing, I think mine got stuck on full after a boosted launch too. Thinking back, it was after a weekend of being at the drag strip that I noticed it. Tank was about 3/4 full. I guess the combo of fuel being at just the right level on a boosted launch caused it.
