Default Re: 12 volt electric fuel pump wont stop ticking plus fuel guage starts from full.

Not recently, but a past car of mine wouldn't go over a half tank. It would read half tank until it actually got to half full and went down from there. The fix as easy. I just took out the sending unit, and bent the float arm a bit to "adjust" it, and just tweaked it until it would get me a full sweep indication of the gauge.

I'm guessing I've got at least two of these problems .... I should try reversing the wires on the fuel gauge, and try to figure out why the gauge settles at the half-way point when full. Dan
