[userob]

Not much to discuss except that i got a 5.0 and my fuel gauge dont work. has anyone ever done an electrical fuel sending unit with electrical gauge?

[RedRyder]

[userob]

ha ha ha....fucken comic that was funnny. made my day and its 12 am

[OttoCobra]

Viva l'5.0 !!


I like how your engine bay is looking these days. the H/C/I is sweet- :rockon:

[userob]

whos engine bay?

[Blind]

why not just replace the sending unit in the tank?

[1218shelby]

mine fuel gauge on my 5.0 dont work either. how much to fix?

[Wishing4cobra]

Mine doesnt work either, i heard these are common on these 5.0's.

[Her name is Ponie]

My fuel gauge works like a charm :cool:

[FOXnSTANGER]

mine doesn't work either. i just refuel every ~100 miles just to be safe.

[userob]

Dam...every 100 miles must be some kind of torture. I am going to try to do the electrical fuel sending unit and gauge write it up. if i am successful then bring your cars and open your wallets to me. :teach:

why not just replace the sending unit in the tank?

I did and it never goes up when the tank is full. It does work when there is 1/4 gas left. n LOL

[5litrarag]

must be a fox issue, because neither of my 5.0s have that problem...

[userob]

think so...you got the 94 or 95 mustangs right?

[5litrarag]

think so...you got the 94 or 95 mustangs right?

Yup.. 95s. A stroker GT vert and a Rotrex blown Cobra hardtop.

My two money pits. hahaha

[Blind]

both my 89 and 91's fuel gauges work flawlessly, fwiw.

[91gtstang]

my 91 works fine but when it gets really low it goes all the way up to full then comes back down to empty slowly

[userob]

your flawless working fuel gauge......:sniper:

[RedRyder]

My fuel level reads lower than it actually is. Oh well, at least I'll never run outta gas.

[userob]

has anyone ever done an electrical fuel sending unit with electrical gauge on their fox?

[Blind]

my friend did, but he has a fuel cell.

[BondoSHO]

Mine shows 1/4 tank low, and the temp guage sorta works. Replacing it, hopefully, this weekend.

you have a fox too?

[BondoSHO]

you have a fox too?

LOL, nope. Just pointing out it's not a specific Fox issue, it's Ford issue.

[Sal]

Have never had an issue with fuel gauges or sending units in Foxes. And that's all I work on. As for Robert's question, yes it can be done. Stock Ford fuel sending units work fine, just replace them. They are not expensive, after all these cars are 16+ years old!

my `01 blazer has a flaky as hell fuel gauge, under half tank the gauge will randomly spazz out and jump around all over the place, it's not a ford issue, it's a car issue, audi's/bmw/mb's/vw's all have flaky fuel gauges too.

[Ace5Oh]

My fox gas gauge doesn't work as well. It had the cluster changed to the 140mph. ( its a 87 ) but I want to make it work. Anybody know how to change the sending unit? is it easy or is it just the gauge cluster? I hate having to pump every 150 miles lol.

[Sal]

Adrian, you already know who to go to for stuff like this.

[RedRyder]

Yup...

[Ace5Oh]

You know how to fix this stuff Sal?
lol.


Sorry for the late response.

[Importkiller]

I've owned a 89 and now a 90 and both of my fuel gauges worked perfectly...

but my buddy had this problem, he popped it out of the tank and replaced the unit and worked just fine...

the pain was draining the tank out but it was really not that bad at all...

Im going to get the part and swap them out.

Thanks for necroposting you n00b.
I mean you seriously must have been extremely bored and had nothing to do so you decided to bump an old thread.
.

Now that i think about it. Maybe your slow and just saw this thread. :look:

[OttoCobra]

My fuel gauge works, but the paint is defective.
