Fuel level indication in 951
In my search to kill all the annoying things that have come up over the last couple of years i'm in the search of the problem that causes my fuel level indicator to give a too low reading.
When the fuel indicator is telling me there is only a quarter left, the tank is actually half full. I took out the complete send unit and floater. Cleaned it up and measured the resistance. Everything was right up to spec. I then hooked the sender online and tested what the gauge would do. When the floater is all the way at the top (about 3 ohm), my gauge displays just over 3/4 full. When i go to the bottom (about 63 ohm) the gauge already shows reserve way before the floater reaches the bottom.
Conclusion: somewhere along the way form the send to the gauge the reading has to go wrong. But where?? Is there an gournd that's rusted up or something?
Any experience is welcome!
