Car Forum / Volvo Cars / May 2006fuel guage not registering
I have a 1989 760 and the fuel guage does not register all of the time. If the tank is full, O.k. If not it registers empty. I replaced the fuel tank sending unit but that didn't solve the problems. Any thoughts? >I have a 1989 760 and the fuel guage does not register all of the time. If >the tank is full, O.k. If not it registers empty.

In our '85 765T the connection was screwed down to the painted body and was intermittent. Removing the paint fixed it. Mike > I have a 1989 760 and the fuel guage does not register all of the time.

I just keep an eye on the trip odometer, it's not worth a lot of trouble for me to fix it, but I suspect a lose wire somewhere.... :> I have a 1989 760 and the fuel guage does not register all of the time. : If :> the tank is full, O.k.

I will certainly look for the ground wire and will continue to use the trip odometer. > :> I have a 1989 760 and the fuel guage does not register all of the time. > : If [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > more than 200K w.o. a workin fuel guage... when the odometer reads 250+ > just fill it up... none of us is perfect... :) |
