1984 ex-army 109 canvas top. The fuel gauge reads full on both tanks as soon as the ignition is turned on. I was advised to get new fuel tank sender units but that made no difference. So I had the senders checked and they work okay according to the electrical resistance thingy they tested them with.
Then someone said it might be the voltage regulator but since the temperature gauge works and it apparently uses the same regulator, it can't be that.
Another pundit said to check the earth on the instrument panel but that must be okay because both the temperature gauge and the instrument lights work.
Another suggestion was that perhaps the gauge itself was faulty but I'm doubtful about that, too, when it reads empty with the ignition off and rises slowly to full as soon as I switch on. Or is there more to it than that?
Any suggestions will be very welcome. Thanks in advance.
