Fuel Gauge Wiring or Float

[redspain]

Hi Newbie here,

My fuel guage isnt working and after searching the net to find some tidbit's about this, i came across a site that suggested to try a couple of things to try and isolate if it was the guage, the float or the sending unit.

According to them i should do this "Unplug the sending unit near the tank, and watch the fuel gauge with the key on. It should go to empty".
I did this and instead of staying on empty where it was, the guage went up to full. Does this mean wiring problems?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you,

James

Many times a bottle of Techron will fix it if it is the sending unit -
