When I replaced the fuel tank a couple of years back (a complete picture collage here on the site) , I replaced the sender.  Filled the tank with fuel and the gauge didn’t show full.  We’ll, I thought the wiring was compromised or the gauge was faulty but didn’t fuss over it.  I keep a log including miles traveled and fuel purchased and it gives me a somewhat accurate level of fuel.  Long generator runs can affect the accuracy but I pretty much know my generator’s consumption and can factor that in and, it is logged as well.

A couple of years pass and I’m disgusted the new sender didn’t work so, I purchase a new gauge.  Same result.  Then as I am pulling into the truck stop, the fog clears and the gauge is showing  full.  I sit down to log in the miles etc,  after filling,  and look at the gauge, it is now empty.  DUH, the adage “stupid is as stupid does” applies!  When I ordered the sender, I ordered the inverse resistance style.   I just have to remember full gauge is empty tank and empty gauge is full tank…. I could change the gauge again but I’m fine with being reminded of my mistake.

Sure does humble a guy when he makes a stupid mistake!
