well, this is a bummer. after bending the float DOWN, which logic tells me should place the sending mechanism higher in position for the same amount in the tank, thereby having the gauge read higher for the same amount of gas, it appears to actually be reading a little lower.

i put 9 gallons in, which should be 1/2 gallon short of half a tank, and it barely reads 1/4.

doesn't make sense to me. i will pull it at some point and try bending it some more. i really don't want to go with a bunch of resistors in the line...

oh well, at least i have a tank that isn't leaking gas at $4.60/gallon!



Sounds like adding resistors is the only choice. I am going to take my original sender and have it bead blasted and replace the 5/16 line with a 3/8 line. Sending this one back.
