i had a problem with the GTB fuel gauge, it worked ok when i built the tank but since has been showing less and less in tank eventually nothing, even after hosing £50 in, so i whipped the tank off today and guess what i found....... the cork float on the sender arm was sitting on the bottom of the tank?!?!?!?!?!? under 6 inches of fuel!
so what has caused the cork to sink? it was very heavy when i removed it, i tried it in fuel can and it went down like a stone!
i changed the cork float for a plastic one from a ZIL and bobs your uncle, gauge reading fine again. the sender unit is a Jeep repro unit by the way.
