I'm not sure but I seem to recall that 67 ohms is in the normal range for =
the sending unit.=C2=A0 I suspect the gauge is faulty.
If you have a spare or if you know someone with a spare you can try swappin=

has, up till yesterday, been behaving itself nicely. Yesterday the
driver's door glass dropped off of the window regulator as I was trying to wind
up the window prior to backing out of the garage. Then later the

<div>The water temp gauge is reading correctly so I am thinking
the bimetal voltage stabilizer is OK. I checked the connections at
both the tank and gage. I checked that the ground lead at the tank was
grounded. I am measuring about 67ohm across the sending unit
terminals. The Bently manual is worthless on this subject - simply
stating that there is no repair to either gage or sending unit and replacement
is the repair method. No resistance values given for empty and full
tank. Frustrating. Before I order a fuel tank sending unit, does
anyone know what the ballpark resistance values might be? What am I
