Gas Gauge or Sending Unit?
2000 36 foot Intrigue. 101K miles
After sitting for a month, my gas gauge read well to the right of full. Typically, if I remember correctly, it would go to empty turned off and never to the right of full turned on.
After about 40 miles and 3 night stop plugged in it had not changed. After about 30 more miles, and 4 more nights plugged in, it appeared to read normal, slightly less then full. 70 more miles, it dropped to 3/4 tank and again looked normal. I had driven 140 miles total. I filled up with 35 gallons when it was about 3/4 tank, which I guessed should have taken about 25 at that level. I accessed the gas gage from the top and looked for a loose wire but everything was fine.
If it is the sending unit, can I change that without dropping the tank? I see I access it from over the propane tank. Is there a unique part for a gas gage or would any that fits the hole work?
Thanks
Jim
