M35 Faulty Fuel Gauge

[Nzguzzi]

Fuel gauge seems to have a mind of its own. This is the 3rd one that I've seen do it, so figured it's fairly common.

Start the car, fuel gauge is fine.

Start the car again and fuel gauge reads higher than it should or lower than it should be.

Stop and start the car , fuel gauge back to normal.

Ie. Fill up to half a tank, get 3/4 reading or 1/4 full.

Anyone got a known fix without re soldering dry joints.

Connection to fuel sender perhaps?

The sender itself gets a bit of crud and glazes up, so the copper connections aren't so flash. Go get yourself a new filter, cause your going to in there anyway, might as well do it, and clean the contacts off.

Make sure it has 1/2 tank or less, otherwise if it is full, it will pour out when you open it.

Ok thanks for the info.

Cars booked in on Tomorrow for service, I will get it done when they change the fuel filter.
