Subject: [oletrucks] Fuel Gauge Question
>During the restoration of my '56 Chevy Truck I replaced the fuel sending
>mechanism inside the fuel tank, I ran new wires to the fuel gauge and
>everything has worked fine for the past 5 months. Now suddenly my gauge
>reads empty ("E") all the time.
>
>When I turn the ignition to the "off" position the gauge needle falls lower
>below "E", below empty. When I turn the ignition "on" it jumps to empty.
>This leads me to believe my electrical connections are OK?
>
>I've checked to ensure the wires are all connected at the fuel tank and at
>the gauge.
>
>Is their supposed to be a grounding wire coming off the fuel tank?
>
>I would appreciate any thoughts/ideas.

>Thanks.
