We have a different but related problem.
89 Ford Econoline 460.
The Fuel Gauge stopped working two summers ago. We have only been camping to up300 miles away from home and we know we can easily do that on one tank of gas.
It will perk up and show 1/4 tank briefly when it likely has 1/4 tank left.
Fuel pump is working.
We plan to look into having this fixed sometime this month.
I am gathering from what I have read in this thread:
We likely need to have the fuel pump replaced to get the gas gauge working.
It may be a challenge to get the correct pump.
Now one more question.
Our RV is 25 years old and we plan to keep it for 4-5 more years. Someone above commented on lots of rust.
Should we look at having the fuel tank replaced at the same time? Or leave it alone and just have the pump replaced?
If your is org fuel pump and sender, its probably your float. They were made of brass and developed leaks so they didn't float correctly. That turned out to be the problem with mine.
I also emailed airtech to get part number to order and they gave me the wrong number. They did give me a free replacement after a few heated emails and phone calls.
Dropping the tanks not that hard. Mine only had 10 gallons. A floor jack with a piece of plywood did the trick. I did have the rear MH up on large jack stands.
