Gas Gauge Broken
What are some generic reasons why a gas gauge would point to full the whole time until you run out of gas?

Re: Gas Gauge Broken
there aren't many reasons other than it is either stuck in the full position in the gas tank or your guage is bad

Re: Gas Gauge Broken
Almost always if its stuck on full its a ground problem. There should be a wire coming from the sender that goes to ground right near the tank. Check it.
Usually stuck on E means its not getting power. Stuck on F means its not getting ground.
