Is the fuel sending unit or the fuel gauge?
2001 FLHT ELECTRA GLIDE. My fuel guage needle pegs back and forth with vibration. I took the tank hold down bolts out as if to remove the tank, and it seemed to stop jumping around. Does this sound like the sending unit or the gauge???
What does it mean when your fuel gauge is stuck?
A stuck fuel gauge on your vehicle can not only be annoying, but also require you to keep track of how many miles you’ve driven since your last fill-up to prevent you from running out of gas. A fuel gauge works through a series of electrical connections from the sending unit to the gauge cluster,…
Why does my fuel gauge keep bouncing on my Road King?
A bouncing gauge will be the result of fuel sloshing in the tank more so than the gauge itself. This is my first time on this site so I’m not sure how to post, but I have a problem in this area.
