    Fuel gauge stuck on full

    Have read a few posts about about faulty fuel gauges, they all seem to be stuck on low or half way... mine seems to be stuck on full after a day of off roading...
    checked Wires around the fuel filter, they seem ok... i found a connection hanging up beside the fuel tank (looking from underneath)
    but it doesn't look long enough to plug into anything...
    Whats next to do... pull the pump out?

    Have you recently fitted a flux capacitor or a Hiclone? Because you might not be using as much fuel with these devices as the tank stays fuller longer

    sorry I couldn't help myself.

    It could be a stuck float on the sender in the tank?

    sounds like a wire problem, disconnected or shorted (sorry I'm unaware if the D2 reads hi or low when disconnected) but usually a full reading is an electrical short (or stuck float)

    You won't find me on: faceplant; Scipe; Infragam; LumpedIn; ShapCnat or Twitting. I'm just not that interesting.

    carpet needs to come out.
    Have you tried giving the bottom of the tank a few bangs, see if that free's it up.
    Only one connector for the gauge/fuel pump. So if your still running I'd assume that the connection is still ok.

    Some times just taking the baby out and holding it and telling it you love them is all the fix it needs.
