My fuel sending unit (port side)has been jacking around on me lately. It always reads either empty or half full when the tank is full. I have checked the gauge and it is correct. I pulled the sending unit completly out and the float floats in water just fine. When I move the sensor arm up and down (while out of the tank) the gauge moves and looks correct. My guess is the float is bad. But the confusing part is that it floats in water just fine. Is there a difference?
Can I buy just the cork float or do I have to buy the whole unit and where is a good place to get it?
