My son picked up a 93 Buick Century with 46,000 miles. Clean car, runs
well, well maintained. The only thing wrong with it is that the gas
guage is not registering properly. Is there a way to see if it is the
sender in the tank or the dash guage itself?
Thanks

Use a 100 ohm pot.  90 ohms = full.  zero ohms = empty.

        Would I be able to see if the gauge works by attaching a wire
from the plug at the tank sender to ground?
