Gas Gauge

[Big Red]

I don't get to ride my bike every week but I keep the tank full so it doesn't rust inside. I noticed that after a lenghty ride around the Dallas area today, my gas gauge still registers full. What could be the problem?

Sounds like its stuck....what year is it?

Try tapping the gauge.....

I would guess that there is some type of fuel tank sending unit....

There is residual sulfur in refined gasoline and it can corrode the silver-based fuel sending units in certain vehicles . Maybe other yellow metals as well .

If the sender is corroded it cannot send signal to the guage .

Go to the Chevron fuels site and or search Techron for more info . They make a product for such problem ... if thats whats wrong and you don't have a open wire going to ground .
