[QUOTE="kee, post: 11166, member: 396"] Thanks for the replies. I'm going to return the wrong sender unit, and I'm not shure whether I'll get a new one since it's not aviable in Sweden as far as I'm concerned (I'll do some more investigation). Allthough my repair manual suggests that a new one is bought, I am curious of trying to repair the existing one. There's no physical defective on the original one but I'm starting to think that there's simply oxide (not visible) on the two threads on which the float guides through. The symptom is that when tank is full the instrument shows about one quarter of the tank is filled. And after a couple of miles it safely rests on zero fuel. If the resistance in the sender is maximum at the lowest point shouldn't oxide on the threads increase resistance in the sender unit to give the signal that the tank is empty when the float have actually only moved a tiny bit along the threads. What do you guys think? Come on, give me some qualified quesses! [/QUOTE]
