gas gauge

[rtc06]

gas gauge is not working already checked all fuses and replaced the gas gauge, any other places I should check out? I been wanting to check out the floating device in the gas tank that measures the gas, is it recommended that I do?

YOu probably need a new sending unit (which is probably on the pump).

Yes. It measures resistance as the float goes up and down. This could be the problem.

You have two options when getting to the gas tank on the Ranger. Personally, I like to lift the bed. Remove the bolts (I think 8 or 6), remove the top part of the hole or the bottom part of the filler hole and gently lift the bed up and support it with a 2x2 and the fuel pump is just right on top of the tank next to the filler. Thelast time I checked at Auto Zone (on the 94 Ranger) it was $110.
