Found the Problem!!

Well I found the problem with my fuel level sender!  In 2004 when the PO bought 5906 from the original owner he replaced the fuel system (due to the car sitting for years.) Anyway no one thought to look in the gauge sender.

The float was moving- from full to 3/4. the whole bottom half was crusted with a flaky rust, doesn't make sense cus that shaft the float slides on is stainless.
You can see the wire for the warning light is broken.

I scraped off the gunk and tested it (out side of the tank) moved the float, watched the gauge- it moves! nice a gradual the zilla box really does delay the reading, Im impressed.
Still have to loosen the lower plate so I can install the sender.
