Default Fuel Guage, Sender, Float .....?
Hey Fellers,
Is there a "recalibration" trick for the fuel gage? Reads empty at almost half a tank, and when full......needle stops at 3/4-ish.

I've found over the years that 90 percent of the time, it's the sending unit that is at fault, not the dash fuel gauge. Lots of parts don't have the quality control they used to have, being manufactured in Asia.
