ALWAYS CHECK YOUR FUSES, OR OTHER INOPERABLE THINGS THAT HAPPENED AT THE SAME TIME

REMOVE SENDER WIRE AT FUEL TANK

GROUND IT TO THE FRAME/ A GOOD GROUND

TURN ON KEY

DOES FUEL GAUGE RISE FROM EMPTY TO FULL?

IF SO, TURN OFF KEY

UN-GROUND THE SENDER WIRE

IF THIS WAS THE CASE, MOST LIKELY THE GAUGE IS GOODAND THE SENDER INSIDE THE TANK IS BAD

OR IF NOTHING HAPPENED, THE SENDER WIRE IS BROKEN ALONG THE WAY, OR THE GAUGE COULD BE BAD
