Please view the post in the Forum Support forum, it has a poll about making a dark mode (i.e. dark color screens instead of bright white) available. This can be of interest for those that access the forums from a mobile device as dark screens use less battery power. But we need to know whether enough people want this before investing the time to install an extra mode.

1952 S62,I put a new sending unit in the gas tank and now the gauge never comes off full? What is the next step for a working gas gauge?

Gauge current goes to the sending unit and its
resistance, then to ground.  Usually an open
circuit anywhere in that path will cause a full
reading.  If grounding the gauge wire reads E,
then look for trouble around the tank.  The
sending unit itself may have a ground wire that
must be attached to the frame, rather than just
grounding the tank.  Bruce Roe
