when we hooked up the other tank with a good and accurate sending unit, it did the same thing, that's why I attributed it to the bad wiring job they have going on. But when it's a custom, and they can't pay, I don't do the work. For the type of effort that it takes to do it right, like in project SAM, few can afford that rate.
You can doa video search on project SAM, and you may want to take a look at project Tank, it's just a 2 wheel drive version of project Lunchbox. Just type in the search bar, BBHR Project Tank bethel brothers hot rod, and the list of video's should come up, the tips are in the tag words, ie: welding, fabrication, transmission, electrical, etc.
ha those gauges rarely read right. The one in my 84 is the best fuel gauge i ever had. when it hits E the motor dies...... Looks like he has a cool truck there
I think you have the polarity wrong on the sending unit or on the fuel gauge. Peace out bros!!

The biggest problem is the wiring. These trucks use like a mother board to plug into, and if it is faulty the guages don't work right.
