The fuel sensor in the gas tank is bad and needs replaced.
The problem is most likely the sending unit, not the gauge itself. The sending unit would have to be replaced.
The Rub al Khali, or Empty Quarter, is a large sand desert located in the Arabian Desert. It is essentially an area of sand that is nearly devoid of any form of life.
I would assume that the wires are hooked up backwards
It would be better to write: My gas gauge reads empty. Note that 'gauge' is singular, so it needs the singular verb, reads. If you had several cars all with gas gauges that read empty, then the verb would be read.
I think the pitch would be lower because the sound is really low when it is empty.
my 86 did the same never would read more than 1/4 tank after lots of checking things i replaced the gauge and it worked perfect..
On a car, there is a float inside your gas tank. It is attached to a switch that sends the empty.....full signals to your fuel gauge.
Most Likly a fuel sender problem
A short in a wire or a failure of gauge or sender.
Faulty signal sender in the tank.
There is none. But you can try disconnecting the wiring attached to the fuel sending unit and look at the fuel gauge. If it is giving you an empty reading, the fuel gauge is faulty and should be replaced.
