Re: [Chrysler300] fuel tank sending unit

Hi Dave,

You may be missing the grounding strap that completes the ground circuit
from the metal, that comes from the gas tank, to the metal line that goes to
the carbs. There is a rubber hose that prevents the ground circuit from
being competed back to the gas gauge. Try temporarily shunting a wire,
across the metal gas lines, on either side of the rubber hose near the gas
tank. If that is the problem, JC Auto has the ³clip on² ground strap that
you are missing which straddles the rubber tube.

Subject: [Chrysler300] fuel tank sending unit

 
 
 

I know I'm doing something stupid, I just don't seem to figure out what, so
I'll ask and give y'all a good laugh to start the week-end.

The problem is the send unit will not send the message to the gas gauge on
the instrument panel that the tank is full.  It reads empty regardless of
the amount of gas in the tank.

This is what I know:

The tank sending unit works.  I've run a jumper from the line to the tank to
the sending unit and as I manually move the float up and down(while
grounded) the gas gauge goes up and down.  This also tells me that the gas
gauge works.

With the tank unit installed in the tank I have run jumpers from the tank to
the frame and from the flange that holds the unit in the tank to the frame.
So I think I've grounded everything.  the tank unit still reads empty on the
gas gauge.  Works the same with or without the jumpers on the tank and the
keeper flange or the sending unit.

What am I missing, that is besides my sanity?  Yes there is gas in the tank.

Thanks for your help and your welcome for the laugh

Zak
