fuel gauge always on E

[BenRoberts]

My 923 always reads empty. its a single tank and when the battery is switched off it drops past E and when the battery is switched back on it will climb back to E. Ive taken the sending unit out of the tank and from what I can tell the contact point on the sweep is touching, this all is just visual checking. I guess im looking for some common issues to check on it.

Are you certain that your float doesn't have a hole in it? If it does, it will sink and always show empty. I've seen it happen. Take it out and give it a shake.

That never even crossed my mind. I will take it back out tomorrow and have a peak

Your float is alms certainly a sink. (As per above)

My last M923a2 did that going to E one day and stayed there.
I replaced the sending unit, nothing, I checked power in and out of gauge and replaced the gauge and that worked.

Mine is stuck on full. I wish that were the case!

When it stays pegged on full it's not getting signal from sending unit.
Check connection and wire from sending unit back.

Summit racing has floats that are plastic and look just like the brass ones
And work great

Mine is always on empty too. I gotta quit driving it.

You mean it doesnt get the same mileage as a prius

fixed!! float was cracked and full of fuel

Military fuel gages can't be trusted. They're like a call girl claiming to be a virgin.

The best way to know how much fuel you have is to look inside the tank, or use a measuring stick.

lol I use my Polaris RZR as my daily driver so yeah eats way more fuel, but I only drive about 1/3 of a mile to work, and it gets about the same milage as my 86 F250 so if I don't need the bed to haul stuff I end up taking the 931. lol I put almost 3K miles on the truck since I got it around Christmas.

My float was flooded AND gauge was broken. Took a while to figure it out simultaneously. Ran out of fuel a few times while doing so. That sucked, my fault.

Im sure its a matter of time before I need a new float
