How can I adjust the fuel gauge on an oil tank? The fuel gauge for my oil tank, a Granby, is off by about 1/4 of a tank. Everytime the oil company comes to fill it, the gauge stops at a little over 3/4 of a tank; and, yes, I can do the math and realize that when it's near "E", there's really only 1/4 tank left of oil. BUT, I still want to adjust it. Is this something I can do myself, and if so how, or should I just have the oil company do it? Oh, the guage is on top of the tank. It's a glass tube with a disc attached to the top of a tiny rod inside that gradually lowers as the oil is depleted.

I was at Costco and saw a propane gas tank with gauge that clips on the outside. How does this work?

We have a new 250 gal. propane tank. The gauge went from 30% to 90%. How could this have happened? The tank is serviced by a propane company. When we moved in this summer, it started at 50%, and over the past few months has steadily decreased to 30%(I check it every few days) When I checked it yesterday, it was suddenly at 90%! Can gauges(new ones) go off that much, or did the company mistakenly fill our tank? Or something else? I am new to the propane world, so I have no idea....thanks!

Fuel tank gauge problem? I have an F-250 ford diesel truck with 2 fuel tanks. When I switch form either Forward tank or Rear tank the gauge reads over full. When the tank is empty the gauge reads at full. I have pulled the Forward tank down and checked the wiring it looks good. All the fuses are good and the wiring as far as I can see looks good no evidence of shorts. What could cause this it is common to both Forward and Rear tank. So probably not sending unit. Thanks for your help. Pete

Fuel gauge shows empty even though tank is full on Peugeot 707? Hi, I let my car run lower on fuel than normal, and after I filled up my fuel gauge shows as empty and doesn't move.

Any ideas?

The gas gauge on my 1989 Nissan Stanza is acting up! My tank seems full but the gauge is wobbling at empty...? I've read that some similar questions got answers about the float in the tank sinking but, I have no time to fix it! I've got to go on a 350 mile trip tomorrow. When I go to the gas station the nozzle just stops pumping right away when I should be able to fill it a little bit. It sounds crazy but could the tank be rejecting gas? Or is the gauge broken and I've had a fuller tank than I guessed? Any advice?

I have a home heating oil tank and you can smell fumes from the oil gauge - how unsafe is it? I plan on replacing the tank and the furnace this spring. There is no oil leaking but I believe the fuel oil guage is damaged as there is tin foil holding it in place. You can smell the fumes as soon as you approach the oil tank. I have 2 small children and want to know if this is affecting any of our healths and if so am I able to call my insurance company to have this problem rectified. Thanks in advance.

Petrol Tank Gauge Acting Up? Hi, Petrol Gauge on my 2000 2.7T Audi Allroad is gone strange. When I fill up the tank it shows that it's completely empty but after about 20 miles it's showing that it's full and it stays like that for about 150 miles. After that it starts jumping up and down. I have to keep writing the mileage in order not to run out of petrol cause I can't rely on the gauge. Any ideas? Thanks Alem

altima gas tank gauge not accurately reading fuel levels? I fill up the tank and it only reads 3/4 tank, but gas milage is correponding to consumption. any suggestions

Gas tank gauge went haywire when gas tank was replaced? Ever since the gas tank on my 96 Ford Ranger was replaced with a used gas tank, the gas gauge has been inaccurate. I've noticed the dial drifts up and down when it gets to about half a tank full. The other day I ran out of gas on the highway with the dial slightly over quarter tank. The tow truck driver said that it's probably a used tank from different kind of Ranger so the sensor needs adjusting OR the small floatation sensor inside the tank is messed up. I'm taking it in next week back to the place that installed the tank.

Gas tank gauge goes from 1/4 full at night, to 1/2 full in the morning? My two sisters who live at my parents house have been fighting for over a year. Both doing things to each other and each other's property. The 20-year-old has stopped retaliating and just let it go. Whereas the 28-year-old still living at home continues to carry it on. The 28-year-old (to name a few things) has thrown garbage at her out of nowhere, keyed the other's car, constantly screams at her (saying the 20-year-old looks like she gained 50 pounds even though she's actually lost 10, and that the pop cans in the trash are the 20-year-olds even though she can't drink pop due to heart problems right now), and stealing her extra key to her room and car and destroying her property inside. Now the 20 year old is convinced the older one did something to her gas tank, like put sugar in it or something, because she had 1/4 of a tank of gas last night, and it was 1/2 full this morning (she has a digital gauge, btw). I tried searching on Yahoo about this, but haven't found anything yet. Do you have any idea why her gas tank would go from 1/4 tank last night to 1/2 tank in the morning, without going anywhere or anyone putting fuel in it. The 20-year-old recently took her car into the dealer and they couldn't find anything wrong with it (since she was recently having other problems, too). So it can't be anything wrong with the car since it was just checked out mid-last week. But do you know what it could be? Thanks. Btw- this isn't an old car. It's a new lease that she got less than 2 years ago. And the gauge is going down an entire 1/4 tank and not going back up once she is driving again. This is what happens when I try to keep questions short: confusion! Ok, let's try this again: Last night, her tank was 1/4 full at night. She turned off her car and had not gone anywhere. This morning, she turned it on to go to work and she had 1/2 tank. Not moving or anything, still staying in the driveway, parked. While driving now, and since leaving at 7, the tank still says 1/2 tank. It would be different if it were just 1 bar, but it changed from 1/4 tank to 1/2 tank and is still staying at 1/2 tank even after a bunch of driving. (hopefully that clarifies it because I am not posting anymore updates because this is getting long!)

I just replaced my gas tank in my 90 Chrysler Imperial. Gauge is showing empty even though there is gas in it? Wondering if the sensor was put in upside down? Any ideas on where I can find pics of how it is supposed to look when put in?

How can I remove the fuel oil tank gauge on my oil tank? I recently purchased a new oil level gauge for my home heating oil tank. I briefly tried using a pipe wrench to remove the oil gauge without any success. I used penetrating oil a few hours before and it didn't seem to help. Does anybody have any tricks I can try or do I have to use some extra leverage? Here is an example of the gauge I have: http://heating-and-cooling.hardwarestore.com/97-581-oil-furnace-parts/ventalarm-signal-and-tank-gauge-167502.aspx?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_term=167502&utm_campaign=googlebase The bottom of the fill gauge is threaded into the 2" hole on the tank. From what I have read, there are 1.25" and 2" variations.

I own a 05' GMC Envoy. I can fill the gas tank and the gas gauge reads empty one minute then 1/2 or fill? My gauge is not working correctly. I fill the tank and the gauge is reading empty and then goes up and down and sometime back to empty sounding the alert to get gas. I have no problem getting gas to the engine. It runs fine. But either I have to replace the gas pump with a sensor or just a sensor. Anyone have a suggestion? Ken

Leaking fuel tank and gauge? This is on a 50 year old gasoline powered tractor. The gas tank is right in front of the steering wheel. The fuel gauge is mechanical, and it's not working. It bolts onto a 2" hole at the top side of the gas tank. I took off the gauge, and the cork gasket more or less crumbled apart. Now, when the tank is half full, the gas sloshes around and comes out of the crack between the gauge and the tank. What's a good kind of sealant to put between the gauge and tank that is impervious to contact with gas?
