Trying to find info on the fuel gauge on my Mk II .  I find nothing on its operation and or what to ask for in a replacement.

It reads full when the power is on  and if I, after a miserable 3 ours getting at the 5 screws holding it in the tank in a totally
impossible location to reach, out and disconnect the power tab wire it reads empty,

What is the make and is there some diagrams available along with trouble shooting guides anywhere?

When the sender wire is grounded, the gauge should pin at full scale.  With the wire removed (circuit open) the gauge should read zero.  I can email you instructions on troubleshooting -- the file is too large to attach.

Dale, it's in the tech wiki

IIRC, there may be some instrumenmt information under "Manuals" in the wiki, too.

Good luck.

Dale : As Stu pointed out got to WiKi, as there is no difference in the fuel tank senders of a MKI or a MKII C34.
