Is the fuel gauge an buttstuffog on it? I assume it should be, not digi?
I may have one for sale in about a week.

And your sure it's the sender, and not a wiring problem?

I didn't want to confuse anyone quite yet.
I may mod the one out of the bird and do some testing first.
If it works out 100% through testing, I'll write up a "how to" of the mod.

And if everything is cool, I'll send it to someone, for real world bug testing, as it would take me a year to use 1 tank of gas in the car I put it in.
I've been driving this vert around since I got it here, filled the tank and I still have 3/4 left. That was since March.
