Fuel Gauge
 

I just installed a new sending unit on my MC7. it has the factory 15 gal
tank. I have an Autometer gauge that worked with the old unit, and it worked
with the new unit before I re-installed the gas tank. After all the bolts
and hoses were reconnected, I checked the gauge again and it pegs out way
past FULL. I checked ground and splices and all are good. I can disconnect
the feed wire and it will fall to empty. Any ideas, without dropping the
tank again?

Re: Fuel Gauge
 

The gauge will peg on full if there is a short to the ground.

Meaning the sending wire is touching ground somewhere?

I just noticed this: -it's a CJ7

Keyboard has too much coffee in it.
