I have a fuel gauge under the deck, which either doesn't work or the needle is stuck. What do I need to look for in replacing the gauge?

Re: Broken Fuel Gauge

This link will describe it best, for testing both the gauge and the sender.

If the needle on the gauge is stuck on Empty, check the senders ground connection, an improper ground will cause this.

It appears to be stuck on half full and has been stuck there even after putting in 12 more gallons.

Re: Broken Fuel Gauge

Did you test the sender as per the instructions?

Do you have a multimeter?
