i am having trouble with my gauge also i have a 93 3.0 from i started stock ohm for my truck is Fuel sender is 145 ohms @ Full and 22.5 ohms at empty.

You can SHORT the Bk/Y and Y/W at the tank connector and see gage go to E (Must turn key to off, make the short, turn key to Run, see fuel gage reading go to E, turn key OFF immediately).

Re-reading your OP, I think your fuel tank sender FLOAT is perforated and filled with fuel. It's an $8 part from Ford, just a brass float.

dont know it is the same for yours.

sorry for the trouble shooting info that was for me but from what i understand the factory sending unit is 145 ohms @ Full and 22.5 ohms at empty so if you are going to use the factory sending unit in the tank. the gauge you get will have to accomodate this. or whatever gauge you get you will have to get a sending unit for that gauge. spec tells you the ohms on the aftermarket gauges.
