Fuel Gauge
My fuel gauge is malfunctioning. Sometimes it displays correctly but will move to a full tank when I know it is half full. Will appreciate any suggestion to fix this.
Forum Discussion
- What kind of rig chassis is it? I'll be interested in this thread. The fuel gauge on my Diplomat recently stopped working. Used to be ultra accurate. Now mine pegs way past full and doesn't seem to move.
- I have a 2005 Holiday Rambler Ambassador.

- I had the same problems as you guys. (See signature) I had the sending unit in the fuel tank replaced and now all is well.

Thanks. I figured it was either that, unless there is a fuse to it. I have not had time to check. Just use my trip odometer to know when I need fuel.
Wonder if that is a DIY item. How the heck you get to the thing?- I also would like to know if it is a DIY job and where do you get the replacement?
- The sending unit is in the fuel tank

Yep, not a surprise there. My assumption would be that it is inserted from the top of the tank, but don't know that for sure. What I do know is that there is alot of motorhome all around my fuel tank, so my question is how do you go about getting access to where you need to remove and replace the sending unit. I would assume only someone that has done so on a similar unit would know.
Billseal - sorry I hijacked your thread, but maybe we can work through this together. I would probably get the sending unit from Monaco. In fact, I will email them right now and get a price for my unit. Will probably get a response next week. But probably any RV parts department could get the right unit.- I have a 2000 Diplomat and sending unit went out also. It is located on side of tank. It is accessible thru a white screw plate in rear of first compartment on passenger side. It is supposed to be a 100 gal tank but when measured it is a 110 gal. call centroid with meas. and they can replace. You will have to empty tank because it is located on bottom side. It is a diy project.
