Fuel gauge broken

[UK-Rekordcoupe]

Hi there, the fuel gauge on my rekord is showing full all the time and im not sure what it could be any ideas thanks. Rich.

could be three reasons:

a) The gauge is broken
b) the electric wire to the signal sender has a ground negativ contact
c) the sender in petrol tank is broken

Most of the time the sender in petrol tank or electric contacts
are the reason for disfunktion...

i had the problem that the contact inside the was stuck of rust. Remove it from the fuel tank and if so, grase it with WD-40. That is how i did it.

best,
Guido

Cheers Guido, i took the fuel sender out lastnight and it seemed fine, i put the wire to it and and touched ir on the fuel tank but no matter where i had the arm it just says full, think i'll have another look at the weekend. Cheers, Rich.

Ahh, what do you mean by "B"? should the sender unit have a negative earth from the fuel tank? what is the wire that clips on to the front? is that positive or negative?
