What's wrong with my fuel gauge? Diagnosing a bad fuel sending unit

By A Mystery Man Writer

The most common problem that causes the fuel gauge to read incorrectly is a bad fuel sending unit. The fuel sending unit is used to measure the amount of fuel in the fuel tank and communicate the fuel level to the fuel gauge on the vehicle dashboard. This ensures that the driver is aware of the fuel level at all times, as well as warn when the vehicle is low on fuel, and when to visit a gas station before the tank is completely empty. If something happens to the fuel sending unit, the fuel gauge is the first to show it, so let’s take a look at how the two work together.
