Hi , I have a 1998 30 foot Cruisers , The gas gauge only reads half
full
after I fill the tank . This boat has 2 tanks and 2 gauges and only
the
one gauge is reading correctly .I have cleaned the contacts on the
tanks and switched the gauges and I still have the problem ??

Sounds like the float is " gas-logged ", worn -out, or the ohm value
is out of whack.Could be a bad ground on the float, or the lead FROM
from the tank where it connects to the ground buss. Just my guesses.
Good guesses from slammy. Ground the sender lead. If the tank reads full
replace the sender. Make sure you follow the instructions.
I'm a plethora of useless information. I listen to people who know ,
and store facts....
Are there 2 of you posting under the same handle? I am detecting different
writing "styles" from you. (for the lack of a better way to describe it)
If someone acts civil towards him...he responds in kind.
What's so hard to understand about that? After all...it's the 'Canadian
way'.
Just got a card from my father in law, who was up in western Canada last
week for his annual 10,000 mile train vacation. He likes Canadians, too,
and claims they are much more "relaxed" than the folks he encounters
stateside.
