9 out of 10 times its the sending unit gunked up from 25+ years of crud and just needs a good cleaning.
-
1. Remove the first aid kit and holder from rear deck. Look inside the opening and you will see a wire connector on top of the fuel sending unit.
2. To remove the unit with a REALLY big adjustable wrench. (I'm a proponent of the Ford wrench myself.) You can slip the wrench over the top to the partition from the trunk.
NOTE: The unit will take time to drain out. Be patient and have some rags on hand.
3. After removing the unit is easy to disassemble and clean. The float should move freely up and down the entire shaft it rides on. A clean rag and some brake cleaner should be all you need. Use caution as the inside of the unit contains think copper wires that must not be broken.
4. Test the operation of the gauge by connecting the sending unit in trunk area. the fuel gauge should read empty, and give the low fuel light. Invert unit and insert through first aid kit hole to test the full indication.
5. Reassemble and enjoy.
If this does not fix it feel free to message me for the full trouble shooting procedure.
