How to test fuel sender

Ha ha dont worry, I don't take anything as a Jab, only as constructive crit. Wanted to update this thread, I had installed new sender and new tank and a new gauge. It is working. Gauge is about 1/4 tank off, but better than no gauge. I noticed when I installed the sender the buoy and fuel tube are about 1 in from the bottom of the new tank. I guess I could have bent it down a little.

Anyhow, I thought it was good, then I looked under and saw a real nice gas leak puddle. Coming out of the sender seal. Yes I used the new lock ring that came with the tank. So I had to drop the tank again, remove the sender and used a new gasket and the old original lock ring. Tapped it into place (i put a little grease on the gasket this time). Reinstall and seems to be leak free at the moment. I put in about 6 gallons and the gauge says I am just below 1/4 tank.

So people reading or searching this thread, DO NOT TRY TO USE THE NICE NEW SHINEY lock ring that comes with the sender or the tank.. Use the old crusty one instead.:banghead:
