The float rises and falls with the gas amount so there is no real way to test in the tank. The float needs to be out so you can raise and lower it while checking the resistance with an ohm meter.

An AC high pot test indicates the condition of a vacuum inside of a bottle. What exactly is it testing for?

There are several different high potential (hipot) tests, but they all generally involve applying a high voltage (high electrical potential) across something being tested to determine how good an insulator the material or substance is. A vacuum inside an enclosed space can insulate materials inside that space. To cite a single example, in a variable vacuum capacitor, a glass or ceramic "bottle" with a flexible metal bellows on one end contains a pair of plate sets. By expanding or compressing the bellows assembly, one set of plates can be moved closer to the other set, both of which are inside the vacuum "bottle" of the device. This changes the capacitance of the device, and thus allows it to be used to tune a circuit. If a hipot test were conducted across the plates of the capacitor, the integrity of the insulative properties of the vacuum enclosure could be tested. If air should have leaked inside, this air would be ionized by the high voltage and the hipot test would show this. This vacuum capacitor would be ineffective in a high voltage application, like the tuning of a high power radio transmission circuit.

The fuel gauge does not read rite on your 01 dodge diesel why?

Could be a faulty guage, check to see if you are getting a good connection to it, and with a test light check to see if the current is continuous. If so, then probably the float inside the gas tank on the fuel assembly.... have to drop the tank to do that one. Good luck.


How do you test the fuel pump in a 1995 neon?

Turn the ignition on and see if you hear a humming coming from the pump. If it is inside the fuel tank, you can hear it from the back seat.


Why is your fuel gauge always stuck on full?

the float that measures the fuel in the tank may be stuck. or the gauge in the dash may be messed up. pay for an hour of mechanic time and have them take out the float and test it with a volt meter.


What makes my fuel pump on my 2000 caddilac deville show full after the tank is low to empty?

Its not your fuel Pump that shows this its your sending unit which is attached to the fuel pump and located in the Gas tank. It could be a couple of things. One the float in the tank is stuck,the sending unit is defective or the wiring is loose or disconnected. Best way to test is to remove it from the tank. This will require removing the tank. If you cant do this take it to a garage.


Where is the fuel pump located on a 1995 Pontiac Grand Am SE?

Inside The Fuel Tank. If Yours Tests Bad, You Will Need To Drop The Tank And Replace It. Be Sure To Have Someone Test To Make Sure Yours Is Bad, This Is A Difficult Job And Expensive.


How do you test the fuel sending unit on a gm pickup?

When it is your hands you test using a ohm meter and by moving the float, if the reading change a in a smooth manner as you move the float its probably ok.

How can you test a fuel pump out of the tank?

You can test the fuel pump by touching the positive wire on the positive post of the battery. You will need to ground the ground wire.


Is there any way to test to see if the fuel pump or fuel pump relay are bad on a 1998 GMC sierra 1500 pick up?

If you look far and wide, you can get a pressure guage to check fuel pressure. Pumps are notorious for going out on these vehicles. And since it is located inside the tank, you will have fun replacing it.


Where is the fuel pump located on a 1993 Mazda 626 and how do you change it and where do you find the fuel intake line to test the pressure if you are somewhat mechanically inclined but learning?

Very tough job for a beginner. The fuel pump is in the tank, which is under the backseat accessed from underneath the car. The tank must be dropped by removing the two straps holding it in place (hope you are very low on fuel 1st!) then all the hoses & wires disconnected then the tank is removed from under the car then you can access the plate in the top of the tank where the fuel pump is found inside. Some models may have access the this from inside the car underneath the rear seat. See Autozone.com "repair" link for access to ONLINE manuals specic to make & model


How far should my fuel pump shoot gas if you take it out of the tank and stick it in a bowl of gas and hook power strait from the battery?

This is not a safe way to test a fuel pump. Simply test the pump with a fuel pressure gauge while it is still in the vehicle. If you go to all the trouble of dropping the fuel tank and removing the pump then just replace it.


Will vacuum in under floor boat fuel tank in a boat cause it to stall?

Yes, If your pulling a vacuum in the fuel tank, the fuel pump cannot deliver fuel to the engine and will stall. Check the fuel tank vent hose and fitting, a common problem is wax build up in the fuel tank vent screen. If you replace the fitting, remember it is a requirement to have the screen in the fuel tank vent. Quick test is to run the boat until it stalls and remove the fill cap, listen for vacuum release.
