fuel level sensor
 
my 2000 32 fever fuel level sensor is under the back seat i filled the tank to the top it only read half tank i adjusted the 2 little adjsutable resistors on the top of the sensor now it reads full but i still dont know if it works. My question is how does the fuel level sensor come off the tank i dont want to break anything does it unscrew or does it just pull out

I bet US1 Fountain will have an answer for you shortly. :)

Sounds like you have a Livorsi sender or similar.
I had issues to dial mine in as well when I swapped out my old gauges for new ones.
I eventually took the sender out of the tank, hooked it up to the gauge and filled a jug with gas, put the sender in it and adjusted it so the gauge would show full. Also checked half and empty reading.

A bit of work, but I now trust the gauge.

bad luck that sounds like a gd idea but my question is how does the sender come out do i need to unscrew it or is it some type of fitting on it i need to remove i just dont want to break anything taking it out

If you have the same type as I have (Livorsi) it does not have a float. It is basically a pipe. Just remove the screws/wires and pull it out.

Even if you sender has a float, you will be able to pull it out after removing the screws (just be careful not to bend the float arm).

Mine has 3 screws on top of sender, it should come out after screws are removed.

I'm going to do a Floscan in the winter. I tried to have my mechanic remove my fuel sending unit and he said it was seized to the tank. That way I will know exactly how much fuel I have.

mine does not look like the livosri one i have gaffrig gauges in my dash so it may be different

From what I have figured out so far Livorsi is Gaffrig. One in the same company is it not??
