When pounding my fist on the dash would no longer bring back the gauge in my
1980 Citation, I just started filling it every 300 miles. No trip meter, so I
had to gas it up at 207200, 207500, erc.
It worked for me for the last couple of years of the car's life until the
transmission broke a
You could just fill it every time it drops to empty - you'd never run out,
since you'd have about half a tank. We fill at half a tank, just on
principle to keep water in the tank to a minimum, and "you'll never run out
if you consider ½ tank as empty.

I fiddled with the 190D a little today. I pulled the fuel tank sender
again since it was showing empty. It appears it reads correct till it
gets to half way then drops all the way down. I do no really know what
else to do with it. I tried the other one and it reads empty all the
time no
Today I pulled the instrument cluster because the PO had replaced the
fuel temp oil gauge with one out of a gasser, so I put the correct one
in. Took car to town to fill it up with fresh diesel and to see if fuel
gauge works, it doesn't. I guess I need to pull the sending unit and
clean it.
Stopped and got a bottle of Power Service (white bottle) on the way home from
work, put 16oz (it calls for 8oz per 25 gal of fuel) in the tank and cranked
'er. It started momentarily and died. Further cranking produced a few pops but
nothing exciting.
Swapped the canister fuel filter, primed
pump?
Just thinking out loud.

Anything is possible.

I debated cleaning out the garage, but when I started the project, it wasn't too

Congratulations on the new job!

Last good one was the 123/126 variety.
