#425571 tommyt (User) Expert Boarder Posts: 503 Gas guage 6 Years, 4 Months ago   Sometimes my gas guage stays on the big "E" after a fill up. Stays on empty for 20 or 30 miles, then rises to full and is fine. Anyone else seen this? tt   Logged     tommyt.....   The administrator has disabled public write access. #425574 Curt (Moderator) Never to old to ride! Moderator Posts: 22378 Re:Gas guage 6 Years, 4 Months ago   Yes mine used to do that too. Now some times it takes a lot longer before it moves and it give the 8 light flashing that means the sensor has a problem. I just watch my mileage and it eventually come up.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #425575 Blackroadie (Moderator) Sometimes I wish you were a pinata ! Moderator Posts: 9480 Re:Gas guage 6 Years, 4 Months ago   Thats kind of a long time but thier made to move slow, to prevent the gauge from moving all the time on curves and such. Mine usually goes to full about a mile or two after fill up . These sending units are prone to screwing up.... it might need to be cleaned and maybe it will work a little better. Im on my 2nd .   Logged     Last Edit: 2011/10/03 21:54 By Blackroadie.     The administrator has disabled public write access. #425620 Big david (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 1259 Re:Gas guage 6 Years, 4 Months ago   lucky some times mine will go up to 1/4 then back down to E.

When it works, It takes its sweet time to go to f.

If you get the itch to check out the sensor check on Curt's web page. There is an article there that gives a complete breakdown for removing the tank and then the sensor. It is possible to clean it if it is corroded.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #425840 Big david (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 1259 Re:Gas guage 6 Years, 4 Months ago   I think mine is the float dosnt float any more.It's more of a sinker I never realy tryed to test it but it sure is heavy. and all the contacts look like new.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access.
