Yes access to the sending unit is easy. I ran a direct jumper to the unit
from the gauge with no improvements.

Any Ideas?


If you put a voltmeter across the sending unit do you get a reading?
The sender is basically a variable resistor so there should be some
voltage there unless the wiring is open some place else.


Hook a ground wire to the engine and briefly touch the other end to the wire
that you just ran to the sender. The gauge should jump to full. Ignition
switch on obviously. If that works your problem is the sender or the tank
ground is bad.
