Ive noticed that the gas gauge has been reading more towards full the last few times Ive had the car running (its not driveable yet).
One time it ran out of gas and still showed about 3/8 of a tank. It ran out another timetoo.
Today I started it and its showing alot more than the 3 gallons that were poured into it the last time it ran out of gas.

I never had a problem with the gauge being off when the car was able to be driven (its been off the road since March). It always worked fine.
Nothing was done with the gas tank, fuel pump, etc.
Ive got a new fuel pump but its not installed yet.

Id hate to run out of gas while driving it once its back on the road because I dont know how much gas is in there.

Is my sending unit bad or is there something else wrong?

Replece your sending unit when you do the pump....

make sure you get 2 of the lock rings if you never changed your pump.....

PJB

Which two lock rings?

in my 87 5.0 there are to sending units 1 is for the pump the other has the floot for the gauge and you may have to get it from ford i had to i replaced both well in the tank

does anyone know where to get new tank gaskets lock rings.....basically a new assembly unit? none of my hardware stores around here sell them and i cant seem to find one on summit or jegs.

slowfox

you may have to try ford

FivePointOhh

already tried. and no one makes a filler neck anymore either so i hope mine isnt bad. where would a guy find these things. ford and local parts stores are no help

50resto.com..... your slacking on this one

FivePointOhh

ok so your right there, they have the FP regulator i need, sending unit which i;m pretty sure is bad and the reinstall kit all for 215.00. thank you

but still no filler neck. i most likely wont need it. but just sayin....
