gas gauge
 

does anyone know if there is a repair kit, or a way to repair a faulty gas gauge on a 88 mustang. i know it's a common problem, and well i have 5 5.0's and none of them have a working gas gauge. so let me know what you know...aight...thanks...

depends on if its the gauge, the sender, or the wiring between.

to fix mine i had to put a new fuel level sender in the gas tank.

$65 from laurel mountain mustang

gas gauge
 

well i think that the gauge works, cause it goes up and down, and well i put two gallons of gas in it yesterday, and it read full. then i turned it on a lil bit later, and it said half tank. so i guess it's not the wiring, or the actual gauge......
i looked on laurel mountain, and didn't see the sender you talked bout. what exactly is it. someone told me i have to replace the whole sending unit!

i think i just called them.

the sending unit doesnt involve the fuel pump. its just tells the gauge how much fuel is in the tank. its completely separate from the fuel pump.

thanks
 

yeah, i just checked and the sending unit is on the other side of the tank. completely separate..........so it's going to be a sinch to replace.
thanks for all the info man. helped out alot.

might as well do a walbro pump while the tanks out ;)

you can buy the fuel sender seperatly from Ford, price is @$70.00 now if the sender has a "brass float" those can also be bought for @$5.00
