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 ,

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.

Did he take the dome car through the Rockies?
That's quite a trip. *I did it in February 1969.

Dunno. I know he's done the Dome Car bit, but I am not sure what his
route was this time. I'm not sure the railroads still run those dome
cars of history...there are more modern versions, I believe. I'm not the
big railboard buff...he is.

I know a group of folks who have done it on " Jiggers " ...those
little rail buggies that are motorized.They got running rights from
the Railroad, but had to work around their schedule. At times, they
had to pull off the main line and wait for a passing train, but just
motel'ld it, or pitched tents.. Now THAT would be a trip ! Season
permitting.
It reminds me of that old Buster Keaton B&W movie. I think it was
called " The Railrodder ". If you haven't seen it, he comes up from
sleeping on the shore of the Ocean, to find the Jigger running while
the operator has a leak. Hops on, and accidentally hits the brake. He
travels through the countryside of Canada, and at the end, hops off to
take a leak and another hobo does the same to him. Funny stuff.
There's also a box on the front of the thing, and from it, he brings
out all sorts of things.
