Aerostar Fuel problem -

looking for input from others , I have a '90 Aerostar 3.0 L and have
replaced the sending unit
and as I did this I checked the levels "briefly" as I put it back
together ..empty, half, full all
seemed ok .
I did not drive it until two days later, the gauge read half although I
had poured in about 1/3 of
a tanks worth (close enough) I drove many kms and realized that the
level was not dropping.
so I started carrying a 20 L jerry can and at (still) "half tank" I ran
out of fuel.
I put in the 20 l and of I went. the next day when I started the van it
read full.
this time I exchanged the dash fuel gauge from another Aerostar and it
read half
this troubled me as it should have been 1/4 of a tank (20 L / 80 L)
I have tried a third dash gauge and it persist to tell me that have
half a tank.
just now I took it to the gas station and added 62 L ( up to the fill
neck) and now I reads 1 tic above half tank. |
