Da67Kid,

On my 1st Gen, I purchase two bad repro sending units (giving bad readings) that I finally change for a Spectra Premium Sending Unit P/N FG104C (3/8 Single Line) that I purchased from NAPA.

Good Luck, Daniel.

Hi passline7741,

I tried two new repro sending units from Classic Industries, they were made by dii, both did not work properly. They were shouwing 3/4 when the tank was full, and showing Empty when I still had a 1/4 of a tank.

I installed a Spectra Premium Sending Unit P/N FG104C (3/8 Single Line), from NAPA, this spring and it works fine.

Good Luck, Daniel.

Thanks for the info Steve,

Both measured Ok when new out of the box.  They both changed value when installed in the tank, with fuel in the tank and the car running.  On both the resistance became lower.

I'm think of dropping the tank for the 3rd time to bend the rod or to replace it with a new GM one.

Thanks, Daniel.

Maintenance / Sending Unit / Fuel Gauge Reading Problem.

« on: August 18, 2006, 02:24:41 AM »

I installed a new tank and new sending unit, since I installed them my gauge doesn't read properly.

The gauge is only reading 3/4 full when the tank is full.  When the gauge reads empty it only takes approx. 8 gallons to fill her up. I therefore have 10 gallons left in the tank when the gauge reads empty.

I have the original console fuel gauge.

My sending unit is a dii Corvex (3/8 Repro from Classic Industries) and the tank is Made in Taiwan P/N 642, CV6003.

I tried two new sending units with the same problem.

Did you guys had this problem? If so, how did you fix it?

Thanks, Daniel.
