93 ZJ - Fuel Gauge
 

Hi Folks,

When the fuel gauge of my 93 ZJ indicates 1/4 tank remains, it is in fact
empty! I wonder if the adjustment is at the instrument panel side or around
the fuel tank area? Any hint to make the adjustment is welcome.

Thanks in advance


Paul

Thanks Earle,

I might not be clear enough in my initial post. When I fill up a full tank,
the fuel gauge needle actually go pass the "F" mark. That is the reason why
I "think" adjustment is necessary.

Thanks for the tips about recording mileage per average tank. By the way,
can you tell me where about is the "sender" that you mentioned.

thanks again.

Re: 93 ZJ - Fuel Gauge
 

This is generally a broken sender unit. No adjustment. I could be wrong,
but I don't think so.

You figure out how many miles you generally get from a full tank, and then
you start using the trip meter every time you fill up. It becomes second
nature. I know. You can also train yourself to write down the fuel and
mileage every time you fill up, in a notebook. Then you can figure your
fuel mileage.

I suppose you could replace the sender unit.

It could be bent. as the float on a wire like a toilet float. and it can
happen easily on installation a twisting action to get into it's own anti
slush tank. Often the problem is the float hangs on that inner tank at about
a quarter, after being bent on an attempted installation. Have fun!
