Not all the time. Being that it acts as a float, when you drain the oil it tends to stick at the bottom level, indicating your oil level is low. When you fill it back up, sometimes it doesn't "unstick". Thur time they do go out.

YOUR ANSWER WILL MOST LIKELY BE A ''NO'' THE ''OIL'' SENDING UNIT DOES NOT HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE FUEL. (JUST OIL) THE JOB OF THE SENDING UNIT IS TO LET THE DRIVER KNOW THE HOW THE LUBRICATING SYSTEM IS WORKING.EX. LOW OIL PRESSURE ,OIL LEVEL IS LOW, HIGH OIL PRESSURE ETC THE SENDING UNIT WILL SENSE THE "CHANGE" IN THE LUBRICATING SYSTEM AND TURNS ON THE OIL LIGHT IN THE DASH BOARD.

The oil sending unit only provides a reading of the oil pressure to the gauge. It has nothing to do with actually sending oil.
