Ford's in their wisdom decided to put the fuel gauge sender and the fuel pump in one unit and my gauge isn't working. They want just under £250 for the unit but I was wondering what exactly can go wrony with the float? Can it just be cleaned up?

 

Cheers

I would suggest a scrap yard - must be hundreds of them available...

can you not get the sender seperatly tho?? the merc all in one units we use can be purchased as a seperate item.

 

its probable the contacts on the variable resistor either poor contact or the windings broken.

 

may be worth a clean - the laquor in the petrol can coat the surfaces & give inacurrate/no readings

Cheers guys. Nah, Fords don't sell the sender on it's own :(

 

I'll try cleaning it and if not I'll get down the scrap yard.
