when the needle is all the way to the right(away from the red) the tank is full the closer the needle gets to the red the less gas you have
The gas gauge is in the instrument cluster , the sending unit for the gas gauge is inside the gas tank combined with the electric fuel pump
my gas gauge is not working what could be the problem
The gas gauge and fuel pump are on two separate circuits tand both go inside the gas tank. The gas gauge usesf a float that moves a resistor according to fuel level. Gas gauges. When you experiewnce the gas gauge not working at all I would look for a disconection external to the tank first. If you cna send six volts from the tank sender to the gauge this should cause the gauge to read. If it does then you know the problem is with the sending unit and it must be removed from the tank to repair or replace.
If the gas gauge stops working is there a fuse for it?
your gas gauge float is in the gas tank you have to drop your gas tank and take out sending unit but if the gas gauge is not reading right you should check the ground wire on the gas tank
Pull the gas tank and replace float but check all wires to the tank first
Check the fuses first!
The fault could be the sending unit or the dash gauge.
Because you have a short in there somewhere...my guess it's probably the voltage regulator.
It is a gas tank fuel level gauge that operates without the use of electronics.
