well the title pretty much says it all. my fuel guage reads full no matter what after i installed my racetronics fuel pump. this is after i dropped the gas tank to do it too i said screw it and cut a trap door and pulled the fuel pump back out to see if there was a problem with the floater and as far a i can tell its fine. anyone have any ideas of what it could be?

The little contact arms on the float that ride against the resistor are very delicate.

Maybe one was damaged when the sending unit/pump was removed?

Post this in the fuel section and you will get a better response....

Full tank = low rheostat resistance = high current flowing through the sending unit = far needle swing (toward F).

Empty tank = high rheostat resistance = low current flowing through the sending unit = minimal needle swing (toward E).

Any other ground in the circuit is unwanted and will peg the needle to F.
