Fixed Stuck Fuel Gauge

Our '98Windstar fuel gauge got stuck HIGH...

it was the rheostat (the sending unit in the tank that the float operates).

The job was dirty, about 5 hours, but do-able (not bad overall).
The tank was heavy, even after I pumped nearly all the gas out (and it is plastic too!).

The worst part of this deal other than wrestling the tank by myself was that the (guesstimated) $5 rheostat is all that was wrong...

it is held by one screw to the internal tank pump assembly.

BUT, you guessed it... nobody sells just the rheostat... so we are now sporting a new AutoStoned pump assembly just to get the new rheostat.

But all is well now, until something else breaks (sigh)....

should've bought a Honda.


No joke.
