An ionization gauge pressure sensor measures the pressure of a gas by determining the number of gas ions present in a vacuum chamber. As gas pressure increases, more gas ions are formed through ionization, which the sensor can detect and convert into a pressure reading.
To determine the gas pressure in a closed container, you can use a pressure gauge or a manometer. These devices measure the force exerted by the gas molecules on the walls of the container, which is directly related to the gas pressure. By using the readings from the pressure gauge or manometer, you can calculate the gas pressure in the closed container.
There is a sending unit laocated at the fuel pump that sends info to the gas gauge. This can malfunction with no reason at all. I am betting that this is the reason since your gauge still moves. If the gauge is bad usually it wont move at all and is not a common thing now a days anyway. The sending unit is more common. Hope this helps.
A Bourdon tube pressure gauge is used to measure the pressure of a gas or liquid in a system. When the pressure increases, the tube straightens, and this movement is indicated on the gauge's dial. Bourdon tube gauges are commonly used in various industries to monitor and regulate pressure in systems to ensure safe and efficient operation.
The gas gauge measures the amount of fuel left in a vehicle's gas tank, not velocity, mass, or acceleration. It indicates how much fuel is remaining and helps drivers estimate how much longer they can drive before needing to refuel.

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.
It is a gas tank fuel level gauge that operates without the use of electronics.
you need to replace the gas gauge sending unit in the tank, or your gauge is broken
