How do you test the ohms on a fuel gauge?
To measure the resistance:
- Disconnect the plug at the sender.
- Set the Multimeter to Ohms.
- Depending on how your sender is grounded, do one of the following:
- Measure the resistance with the tank empty.
- Measure again with the tank full.
- Note the resistance range.
How do I know if my fuel gauge or sending unit is bad?
Here are some signs that the fuel sending unit is bad and some speculations on how and why the fuel sending unit failed.
- Fuel gauge reading empty when the tank is full.
- Fuel gauge is stuck on full.
- Fuel gauge fluctuates between empty and full.
What is a bad fuel sending unit?
A faulty fuel gauge sender may cause the gauge to suddenly change positions, or give an inaccurate reading. The gauge may appear to be at three quarters, and then only a few minutes later will change to half full, or vice versa the gauge may appear to be full, only to have the gauge climb higher a short while later.
How much is a new fuel sending unit?

What is resistance range of fuel tank sending unit?
The fuel tank sending units used on all Ford products up through 1986 have a resistance range of approximately 8-12 ohms full and 70-73 ohms empty. (I tested my factory 25-gallon in-frame auxiliary tank’s sending unit, however, and got readings of 20Ω full and 85Ω empty.)
How to fix a fuel tank sending unit?
Pull off the sender wire from the temperature sender and/or the oil pressure sender and probe those connectors…they should flash too. PROBLEM: The fuel gauge does not work at all…no needle movement. With the ignition switch on, remove the wire from the fuel tank sending unit and ground it to the unit housing.
How can I tell the ohm range of universal fuel sender?
With the multimeter set to the Ω setting put the red probe on the post that is the gauge lead and put the black probe on the ground post or on the body of the fuel sender. Record your readings with the fuel sender in the empty position and in the full position. Those two numbers will tell you the ohm range is of your sender.
