How do you wire a fuel sending unit gauge?
Remove the screws that hold the sending unit to the tank and take it out. Next, remove the three wires on the back of the old gauge. One wire goes to the center pin on the tank sending unit, one goes to ground, and the third connects to a 12-volt source, normally the ignition switch. Remove the fuel gauge.
How do I install a fuel level sender?
Place the fuel sender in the fuel tank and align the five holes in the sender flange with the holes in the fuel tank. The five mounting holes are not equally spaced and will only line up in one angular position. This allows repositioning of the float arm relative to the mounting holes every 90°.
How is a fuel gauge and sender installed?
Sender unit is installed into the tank using the new gasket and appropriate hardware. Next the fuel pickup tube is screwed into the sender flange. The finished unit provides for the signal to the fuel gauge and site for the fuel pickup.
What kind of wire do I need to wire a fuel gauge?
You can even use your stock fuel-level sender cable, so you will only need to connect four wires for your new gauge to begin working. Select an appropriate mounting location for your new gauge.
How do you fix shorts on a fuel gauge?
Wrap any exposed wire with a layer of electrical tape to prevent shorts. Connect the “S” wire to the fuel-sender signal wire you removed from the stock fuel gauge. This wire is fed directly to the post on the fuel-level sender in the fuel tank. Twist these two wires together and cover them with a layer of electrical tape.
How do you wire a fuel level signal?
Connect the “S” wire to the fuel-sender signal wire you removed from the stock fuel gauge. This wire is fed directly to the post on the fuel-level sender in the fuel tank. Twist these two wires together and cover them with a layer of electrical tape. Use your test lamp to determine the fuse for the dashboard instrument lights.

Can a fuel gauge be used without a float?
Universally usable Fuel gauge that allows to measure the fuel level without need of the float in fuel tank! Device is designed to measure hydrostatic pressure in fuel hosing. Device can be calibrated to compensate the shape of the fuel tank and shows real amount of fuel in the tank.
