Fuel Sender

To test fuel sender for proper resistance, remove sender from vehicle. Connect leads of ohmmeter to sender terminals. With float rod against FULL stop (away from fuel filter), the ohmmeter should read 8-12 ohms. With float rod against EMPTY stop it should read 60-86 ohms. If resistance is not within these limits, replace sending unit.

NOTE: Before replacing sending unit, ohmmeter should be checked for accuracy by checking a known resistance.
