S14 Fuel Gauge not working

[rim_bender]

I bought an S14 and the fuel gauge doesnt work. The first time i noticed it i watched the gauge fall from half a tank to empty within 10 sec, so i fill up and it turns out it really was empty because it took a full tank of gas worth and then the needle went to the FULL position.

I swapped out the fuel gauge aloe with another fuel gauge and now that gauge doesnt even move from FULL, i havet been any lower than a half a tank with the new gauge as i always jsut make sure its full, so the gauge might jstu pick up somewhere along the way, but as of now it just says FULL.

So i assume its someting in the tank? If so waht am i looking for and how do i know if its working? Can i access the problem part and fix it from the access panel under the back seat? Bascally what do i need or have to do to fix my gauge?

Thanks

this is apparently a common problem with s14's. the float in the tank comes off of its bracket. when the tank becomes more empty, the float falls back into place. or something like that. search for the exact answer. i had to awhile back for my bro's s14.

Yeah same thing happened in my S14. Take the fuel pump out and reset the floater. Run a search on the forums. Theres a few threads about it...

Eh? You asked question, I gave answer. No need for such reply. I never said search.
