Re: Sending Unit 120-130 1967

posted by  someone claiming to be Joe W on  Wed Oct 10 04:02 CST 2001 [RELATED]

The guage is steady when the tank is full, but gets more mobile as the fuel level drops, consistent with fuel sloshing around in the tank. My old VW did the same thing. When the tank gets around 1/4 full, however, the needle bounces around erratically (full-empty-full-empty-1/2-empty-etc)even when the car is standing still (but it's worse when the fuel is sloshing).

I'll take the sending unit out this weekend and take a look at it. Hopefully, I just need to make the adjustment George suggested.

Thanks for the replies!

Joe
