Hi:
First, thanks for the positive feedback. It's appreciated. Next, you need to remove the fuel tank to access the float sending unit. There is a simple rheostat that send the signal to the gauge. If it is bad, you will get a false readling.

Call parts stores in the area for availability and price. I'm not sure what they would sell for anymore.
