Hi there,

I feel that it will be the fuel tank sender unit, the pump will be OK, dose the gauge drop past the 1/2 way mark when the tank is low? It sounds as if the sender float is binding up.

Hi there,

You will need to replace the sender unit in the fuel tank, I would suggest that you get a mechanic to do this Job for you,
