Last week I thought I had a sure problem with the voltage stabilizer,
since both temp and fuel gauges were reading low. Replaced the
stabilizer, had same symptoms.
Reached into the fuel tank with a piece of wire, hooked the float arm,
pulled up and voila', the gauge read 3/4 full. The electrics were
okay, but the float was almost full of fuel, sitting at the bottom of
the tank.
Last month, while the tank was out to replace a leaky sender gasket, I
noticed the float was about half full of fuel. Hmmmm, this could cause
a wrong reading, so let's fix it. Checked the archives, someone
suggested to drill a tiny hole, drain the fuel and seal the hole with 2
part epoxy (JB Weld). Everything was okay for about 3 weeks, then the
float started to fill up with fuel.
Anyhow, does anyone have a solution to this one - what can I use to
seal the float so it doesn't fill with fuel? Or, is there a reasonable
alternative, like replacing the float with something else?
As far as the low reading temp gauge goes, maybe my car is naturally
cool :)
Thanks, and sorry Lucas,
Rick
