Re: Pull tank or buy new guage?
Was the gauge correct before? It sounds like the sender is OEM, which
should be calibrated properly. Do you notice it off, full or empty? If off
on the empty end, you may be able to add a slight amount of resistance in
series to adjust it.
The sender can be calibrated by bending the float arm up or down as an
earlier poster said. I put a new sender in and it is noticeably off on the
full end (full tank is reading about 7/8) - I would like to bend my arm down
a bit.

Re: Pull tank or buy new guage?
Right, it is an OEM sender with an aftermarket gauge. It reads full then
drops to empty when there is 10 gallons or more left in the tank. I'm just
wondering what would be easier,..dropping the tank and bending the arm of
the sender..or just spending the $ for a real OEM gauge that's matched to
the sender.

Re: Pull tank or buy new guage?
What size tank? Mine only holds 11 gallons. What kind of after market
gauge? Does it fit in the original cluster? If so it should be closer than
that.
