Fuel Sender

  1. Using an ohmmeter, measure the resistance between terminals 2 and 3 at each float level.
    CAUTION:
    • Reversing the connections of the tachometer will damage the transistor and diodes inside.
    • When removing or installing the tachometer, be careful not to drop it or subject it to severe shock.

  2. Also check that the resistance changes smoothly when the float is moved from "E" to "F".

  3. If the height resistance is unsatisfied, replace the fuel sender as an assembly.
    CAUTION: After completing this test, wipe the sender dry and reinstall it in the fuel tank.
