My fuel gauge has been not working lately. When I fill up the gauge only goes to about 7/8th full and will sit there for about 150 miles then drop fast. The fuel light came on today with the gauge at 1/4 and at 310 miles. Is it the gauge or the sending unit? And how do you check?

Its your sending unit. it loses connection on the center pins due to being used a lot and the metal traces on the inside break the connection, then reconnects at a lower, less used area. I just helped a friend with that issue on his ride. Yours sounds like upscaled symptoms he was having |
