What is the Fuel Gauge Sender all about?

The fuel gauge sender is a fairly simple component that is located in your car’s fuel tank. It consists of a float that is connected to a metal rod. The end of this thin rod is mounted to a resistor, which measures electrical flow. When there is more resistance, less current flows. A slider connected to the fuel gauge slides on the metal strip, and delivers current to the resistor from the gauge. If the slider is close the grounded side, there is less resistance, and if it’s at the end of the strip, there is more resistance. The fuel gauge on your dash interprets the resistance and indicates the fuel level with a needle on your cluster. If the fuel gauge sender isn’t working, you will get an inaccurate reading on your fuel gauge.

Keep in mind:

  • Fuel gauge inaccuracy may not be due to a faulty fuel gauge sender – something as simple as the shape of the tank can affect the position of the float and throw the reading off.

How it's done:

  • The battery is disconnected and the fuel tank is removed
  • The defective fuel gauge sender is removed
  • The new fuel sender is installed and adjusted
  • The fuel tank is reinstalled and the battery reconnected
  • The repair is verified and the fuel gauge sender tested for proper operation

Our recommendation:

Variations in gas gauge readings are common, but if you notice a significant difference in what the gauge tells you, and what you know is in your car gas tank, have one of our expert mechanics diagnose the problem with the fuel gauge sender and replace it if necessary.

What common symptoms indicate you may need to replace the Fuel Gauge Sender?

  • Fuel gauge only reads empty
  • Fuel gauge only reads full
  • Fuel gauge reads inaccurately or intermittently

How important is this service?

The fuel gauge is a convenience item; if you run out of fuel, you may be stranded. If your fuel gauge sender has failed or is working intermittently, have it replaced when you can. Make sure to fuel up regularly to avoid running out of fuel.

Chevrolet Tracker V6-2.5L - Pre-purchase Car Inspection - Sacramento, California
I recently purchased a 2004 Chevy Tracker. Before purchasing, I wanted to have someone thoroughly inspect the vehicle to make sure it wasn't a lemon, and to notify me of what I would need to take care of in the near future, so I could use that for negotiating the price. I contacted YourMechanic at the last second and they responded immediately, able to accommodate my appointment. I was more than satisfied with the service I received from Kevin, the mechanic they sent to do my inspection. He was very thorough, went above and beyond, and made sure to inform me of even the most minor things. Once the inspection was complete, we reviewed the positives and negatives and I decided to purchase the vehicle. I was even able to talk the dealer down $500 from the asking price to cover some of the things that needed attention immediately. The fact that Kevin even had knowledge of the dealers in the area aided my decision. It made me more comfortable purchasing from the dealer himself, even though I had already had a good feeling about the guy and had read previous positive reviews about him and his dealership. The reports (online and printable) I received were amazingly detailed, listed reminders of what I needed to be aware of, and even rated the vehicles condition to give reference. And they were available immediately. YourMechanic is also VERY affordable. I was getting inspection bids of $150 and up, but only paid $98 for this service. Thank you YourMechanic and Kevin. You all certainly exceeded expectations. I will most definitely use your service in the future and recommend you to others.
