Slant Six Forum :: gage or sender unit?

Ford seems to have lost their minds on fuel sender floats. One dealer near me wanted $17 another wanted $19.

I found mine at Auto Krafters, P/N 15309, for $6.95/$11 and change with shipping:

My old one is still rattling around in the tank behind the seat where I dropped it along with a fish net I was trying to retrieve it with. One day I'll get time to remove the tank and dump them both out.

What is the best / easiest way to tell whether the gas gauge is kaput - or the sending unit is at fault? car is a 65. gas gauge pegged at E, all other gauges work properly.

Pull the wire off the sender and briefly ground it (a second or two) with the ignition switch "on", while a helper watches the fuel gauge. If it moves at all, then the problem is likely either a bad sender or a sunk float on an otherwise-good sender assembly. Float: Ford P/N COAZ-9202-B Strainer "sock": GM P/N 5651 705 Gasket: Chrysler P/N 6031 475 Sender grounding clip: Chrysler P/N 2258 862 Could also be a bad wire between sender and dash, though.

I'm having the same issue with my Vera. Also a 65 with the gas gauge pegged at E.....Now, when you replace the sending unit, does the tank have to come all the way out?

It should come out by supporting the body on the rear frame rails and letting the axle drop out of the way.

Danny Not to be a smart a** , so you "saved" how much money? my math has been slipping lately.. but if was for the lack of wanting to 'give' money to FoMoCo, I guess thats ok also...
