Re: [Chevelle-list] fuel gauge test

[Jim H. Thompson]

If you put an ohm meter between  the lead from the gauge to the sending unit
you should get a reading between 0 and 90 OHM with the ignition on. 0 would
be an empty tank 90 a full tank .  Using a floor jack lower and raise the
back of the car. If you get different readings the sending unit is good. If
this fails check the ground to your instrument cluster. There should be 12
volts to the other side of the gauge.

Hey guys was just wondering if there is a electrial test to tell if a fuel
guage was faulty or if it is the sending unit. It worked fine last fall and
just got the car out and its no working. I cleaned the ground wire and metal
on the body it attaches to and still dont work   Thanks in advance   Finally
spring is here in Mich sure was a LONG winter    thanks   Steve
