i want to be able to check my fuel level..

[88mudder]

84 Ranger std cab shortbox. The gas tank sending unit is bad and new replacements are not available anymore. I need a way to get my gas gage to work, or even run an aftermarket gage. What i really want to know is of a universal sending unit that will work with my tank?..or any alternatives? Im stumped here. Any help here would be great.

get a long stick and shove it down the filler to the bottom of the tank, pull it out and see how much you've got!

or when the truck stops running you know your low

The gas gauge on my Explorer hasn't worked for years. I just use the trip odometer-- fill the tank about every 200 miles and reset it. Never ran out of gas.

I also do the same exact thing with my '88 ranger 2.3l

Ya, I think my gage is going funky too. I was getting concerned when My trip Odometer said 64 miles, but the fuel gage was below 3/4 tank. I went and fueled it up and calculated, 26.666_ MPG. If the gauge was correct, it would be about 16 Mpg, and with a 4 banger, ooof.

thx for the links blackBII. Im thinking about trying the JC whitney kit since it worked good for you.
