Re: Fuel sending unit test

Hey Gents,

I did get my new fuel sending unit hooked up for a bench test and to my dismay, it is reading backwards!! (full with the float down and empty with the float up) In using the spare fuel gauge I have, (out of a 1940 Junior car - supposed to be the same gauge) the two posts on the back are differentiated by what looks like a red 'B' which I presumed was the hot post, (Battery) so that is the way I hooked it up. Is it possible just reversing those wires could make it reverse it's reading or would it appear I have an issue with the way KM Lifestyles has manufactured my unit?? I tried contacting them but had to leave a message and have not heard back from them. I want to try (even momentarily) reversing the wires but don't want to damage the new sender. Any words of wisdom, experience and advice would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance. Chris.
