[QUOTE="ozziedog, post: 622341, member: 13810"] Just remember it is only a fuel ‘ gauge’ and not an accurate meter. They were a little optimistic and vague when brand new but at fifty years old some are a tad eccentric to say the least. You could go on a rampage fitting a new sender ets etc and re wireing the bus because the crimped joints etc but you may do a lot and get varying results. If it didn’t work at all then I’d do something but as it is now, I’d maybe leave it perhaps until you have the motor out and then drain and clean the tank as a starting point. Maybe your van hasn’t been down to reserve or it’s been set or a little stiff around that point where the sender was in one place for a long time, set as in set by rust / corrosion/ old age / arthritis etc etc. Ozziedog,,,,,,,, sender I’m guessing, but poss leck trickery :mrgreen: [/QUOTE]
