Due to a leak around the fuel sending unit I needed to remove the unit =
and decided to replace it with a new one from Moss Motors.  The one I =
was removing was at least 12 years old but it did keep fairly accurate =
track of the fuel level.

The new one seemed to work OK for a few hundred miles, but now it does =
not move off the full mark until the tank is more than 50% empty.  I =
have carefully checked all the wires and grounding connections and =
everything looks clean and tight.  The gage swings from empty to full =
when powered up so I doubt the gage is the problem.

Any suggestions on what to look for now?  I have not removed the unit =
yet.

Are there any =93better quality=94 sending units available on the =
market?

Thanks,
Ron Fine
