April 2, 201016 yr comment_426494 I have an 82 and the fuel gauge is dodgy and usually shows empty. Off the scale empty. But when it gets low, and has about 10 litres left in it, it shows as down in the last quarter of the gauge. Any clues guys? Paul Report
April 2, 201016 yr comment_426495 So if you fill up with a full tank, does it read anything? or even when its not full? Its prob just a sender unit or the fact that the sender unit has moved and is only going to give a reading when there is a certain amount in the tank. Karl. Report

Guess it is a dodgy sender......... Report
April 2, 201016 yr comment_426500 Reads dead empty when full. Guess it is a dodgy sender......... Could easily be the guage the can't handle the increase in voltage since its grown old not too sure investigate these options first :D Karl. Report
April 2, 201016 yr comment_426522 Mines the same. Zero on full, then right about half a tank, then zero but the fuel light works. Report
April 2, 201016 yr comment_426568 Fuel light and sender are on a different circuit, Change the sender, It is only a 5 min job. Report
April 6, 201016 yr comment_427584 Sorry to hi-jack the thread....buuuuut I installed a tacho dash into my ke70 a while ago now, from memory the fuel gague never worked, never bothered me to be honest, although it would be nice to have. Replacing the sender is a 5min job?? Same deal with a ke70? Where abouts is it located or what does it look like?? Thanks :thumbsup: Report

April 11, 201016 yr comment_428883 On the AE82's you lift the rear seat and the sender unit is under the removable cover. Report
April 11, 201016 yr comment_428899 sounds like a hilux i used to have if it was full it read it was empty and when it was empty it read it was full lol always thought my fuel gauge was made in ireland because i replaced the sender and the float in the tank did every possible thing and it still liked going backwards Report
