Fuel gage inopp
I have a 36 Model 68 and i'm having a fuel gauge problem. I have 6 volts at the sender but the fuel gauge still reads empty. Any help would be appreciated.

Re: Fuel gage inopp
I have a 49 Ford. I can access the fuel gauge sending unit from inside the trunk. I pulled it out and the brass float had sprung a leak and sank, thus the "empty" gauge reading. I Soldered the hole and then put it in hot water (if it bubbles you got a hole) and found another hole and soldered it again. I reinstalled it and now it works perfectly.

Re: Fuel gage inopp
You need to be asking on the Early V8 forums with questions and replies. This section is for help with the site not car questions. By the way adding too much solder can cause the float to give wrong reading.
