SOURCE: fuel gauge not working

yea fords with two tanks are known for getting stuck if you dont switch the tank constantly. you have to get to the valve that switches the two tanks, and free it up. it definitley isnt anything but the valve.

SOURCE: 2002 Chevy Suburban: Fuel gauge reads empty, tank is half full

Youre gauge is controlled by a plunger in the fuel tank which is attached to the sensor and the fuel gauge. it sounds like when the plunger goes down half way its either getting stuck down lower then it should. Needs replacing. Any mechanic can do this install for you.

SOURCE: 2003 Impala fuel gauge used to bounce and now

most of the time this is simply just the float in the gas tank getting stuck had the same problem in my car. unfortunately you have to access the gas tank to fix, but it is an easy fix. hope this helps any questions let me know.

Testimonial: "Confirms what I suspected. Curious as to the cost to repair."

SOURCE: i have a 2001 chevrolet suburban the gas gauge

The problem lies in the sending unit in the tank. It could have a wiring problem or the sending unit is bad.

1996 ford ranger fuel gauge stuck on empty

It's not really easy to tell, you need to test for power and ground at the sending unit at the fuel tank, while someone is watching the fuel gauge inside the vehicle. 90% of the time (especially on Ford's) it's a faulty sending unit in the fuel tank, which is usually sold with the fuel pump...if not, I would replace the pump while I had the tank out anyway just as a precautionary measure.
. the "float' is the part that of the sending unit that registers fuel level and sends that

Fuel pump replacement for a Ford 1991 Ranger

Remove the gas tank when first emptied out. The pump is inside of the tank. Have the tank supported upon removing so the lines can be removed next then drop it down to remove the top retaining nut to remove the sender with the pump

Fuses for 1991 ford ranger

Manual doesnt show fuse. If gauge stays on empty, it is probably due to a bad float inside the tank or a bad sending uint in the tank.
