You have to get the right sender for the guage. There are a couple of
different ohm range values for guages.

Sounds like the sending unit might be hanging up. You must make sure that
the float is free to move the entire range. You can also connect the
sending unit out of the tank and manually move it thru the range to make
sure the gauge reads correctly. It must be grounded to work correctly.
Some of the universal replacements are adustable to fit a variety of tank
depths, they must be adjusted correctly.

Over the weekend I had a similiar problem with my friend's fuel gauge.
He
replaced the fuel sending unit last week because it floated from
side-to-side. But, when we went out on Sunday, we ran out of gas, but
the
gauge said 1/2 tank. Is there an adjustment or some other way.
Thanks

Have 1994 4wins 190. Fuel gauge reads half full when full. Replaced
fuel
sender
in tank. Still reads half full when full. Gauge moves full swing from
way
below
"E" to half full. Gauge moves proper distance just not in the proper
place.
Is there a calibration screw or adjustment behind the fuel gauge.
Looks
like
dash guages are in a "pod" or one solid unit. If so How do you get
the
gauges
out without destroying them
Comments or suggestions welcomed.
