Recently on a ride into wisconny my fuel light came on WAY too early, and now it's always on. When I disconnect the sensor directly below the tank the light goes out. Can anyone explain how these sensors work? I read .7 Ohms through the sensor with the tank up. Or could I have a short somewhere?
Bad fuel sensors are about as common as...
Monsters.
That is most likely the issue.
Any Idea what that will cost me next time I'm in civilization?
Around $100. You do have alternatives. Unplug the sending unit or pull the bulb so you don't have to look at the light and use your trip meter.
It would be far more effective to swap with my dad and then unplug HIS sending unit.... ;D
That'll teach him to go to Indy and Deals Gap without me.

That will work too [thumbsup]
Someone told me once that the fuel light is only there to tell you that the globe for the fuel light is still working.... [laugh]
I would agree with that, however I'm still working on some jetting issues which results in non uniform fuel mileage. I guess I'll just have to be careful for awhile.
This will be my second pilot light out of order. :o I still haven't gotten around to putting a new oil pressure sender on. Project for this winter....like I always say
