The lengthier side of the metal arm is several inches long with a brass or foam plastic float at the end so that it remains on top of the fuel in the tank. As the fuel level carries the float up or lets it drop, the arm moves up and down so that, on the opposite side of the axis, the contacts move accordingly, effectively changing the resistance of the sending unit to indicate the fuel level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"878\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/worn-out-fuel-level-sender-878x1024.png\" alt=\"worn out fuel level sender\" class=\"wp-image-74009\" style=\"width:878px;height:1024px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/worn-out-fuel-level-sender-878x1024.png 878w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/worn-out-fuel-level-sender-257x300.png 257w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/worn-out-fuel-level-sender-768x896.png 768w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/worn-out-fuel-level-sender-150x175.png 150w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/worn-out-fuel-level-sender.png 1286w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 878px) 100vw, 878px\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">A worn out fuel level sender from a GM vehicle. | Image Source: Richard McCuistian<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Typically, the resistive strip will be grounded at one end, and the wiper contacts will be connected to a wire leading back to the fuel gauge, the coils of which are supplied with voltage, and that voltage passes through the coils all the way to the wiper contacts via the wire harness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As the wiper moves nearer to ground, the ground path will cause the coils in the fuel gauge to become magnetized so that they drive the needle toward empty. If the fuel sending unit strip loses its ground, or if the contacts wear out so that they aren&rsquo;t touching the strip, or if the wire from the contacts to the gauge are cut\/chewed\/broken, the fuel gauge will read past full. If the wire leading to the contacts is shorted to ground, the gauge will read empty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Fuel Level Sensors and OBD2<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There have been computerized instrument clusters for a long time before OBD2, but those clusters still received the fuel level sensor information directly from the fuel tank sender.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But with the rise of OBD2 in the mid to late 90s, the ECM\/PCM needed to know fuel level for emissions reasons &ndash; the EVAP system on some manufacturers&rsquo; platforms would not perform EVAP tests unless the fuel level was between 15% and 85%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As time went on, body computers (called by various different names) began to be the module that monitors fuel level, delivering that information to the instrument cluster and the ECM\/PCM. But the sending unit still needs voltage to work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the sending unit circuit is damaged (cut wire, lost ground, etc.) or the sending unit has failed, the ECM\/PCM will detect that failure by way of a voltage reading that is outside of an acceptable window, and this code will be stored. Some body computers won&rsquo;t update the fuel level when this kind of failure happens and the fuel gauge may read other than empty or full even though that reading isn&rsquo;t accurate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Where to Get a New Fuel Level Sensor for Your Vehicle<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Don&rsquo;t waste time guessing how much fuel is left in your tank because of a damaged fuel level sensor.
