  2. Also check that the resistance changes smoothly when the float is moved from "E" to "F".
    Position Liter (L ) Gal. Resistance (±2Ω)
    Sender (E) 2.8 0.74 200
    Warning lamp ON 5.8 1.53 170
    1/2 22.3 5.89 66
    Sender (F) 41.8 11.04 8
  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.
