Fuel Sending Unit Reads Half full

[Mark H.]

I had the original fuel sending unit on our '66 coupe rebuilt by Wolfe and company sometime ago. At first it read accurately. Now, when tank is full is reads half. Advance thanks for any thoughts and advice.

Mark take peek into fuel tank and see if the float arm maybe stuck? You may need a mirror.

Usually when the unit goes bad it reads 1/2 at all times

My understanding Wolf has quit doing sending units.

Yes, that's right, they read 1/2 when totally disconnected.

Mark,

Attached is an article by John Hinckley in regard to the gas gage circuit C1 to C3. The C2 circuit is different and he has a quick check and check of the wiring to the C2 gage to see if it is the wiring/gage or the sender unit.
