I have had 2 problems with the fuel sending unit and guage from Classic. I have had several sending units that the float was wrapped around the pickup when installed in the tank. The fix was to remove the sending unit and release the float. The problem from this was the guage always reads empty. The second problem was the guage itself. This is a recent problem so I don't know if the fuel guage was ordered incorrectly or just bad. The problem was the guage would only show 1/2 tank when full. This 2nd problem can also be the ground problem I discussed earlier.

I just checked the last guage that didn't work properly and found it is a 33 to 240 ohm. This explains the problem since the sending unit is 0 to 90 ohm. I will call Classic and let them know.

PS. I just talked to Pete and they are checking thier fuel guages to make sure they are the correct ones. If you have this problem on a recently purchased guage from Classic you should call Pete for a replacement.
