I've recently fitted a new fuel sender ,and I have checked that there is power going to the gauge from the rear end .The sender unit I used was a VDO one but it was 20mm shorter than the original bay one. I know there is about £20 of fuel in the tank but the needle on the gauge only sits at the bottom line and flickers and sometimes it doesn't move until you start the engine. I know it's not going to show much as the sender was a little shorter but I thought the needle would of sat steady.?
