I thought my fuel gauge wasn't working - ran out of fuel while showing 1/2 full - but it turned out to be a broken lift tube in the tank. A rather common and easily repaired issue.

I just replaced my fuel gauge and fuel sender.
Both were bad. The gauge had a broken wire internally and the fuel sender contact wires were corroded.
Check and see if you are getting voltage at the fuel sender, it's a purple wire. Don't forget to turn ignition on. If you don't get any check fuel gauge. Here is the ones I bought.

I like this style of sending units if you can get them in the correct lenght. I have used them with good sucess.

I recently had a similar issue with my Bobcat fuel gauge not working. After some troubleshooting, I discovered that the problem was with the fuel sender unit. Here's what I did:

1. Check the Voltage: First, make sure you're getting voltage at the fuel sender unit. It's usually a purple wire. Turn the ignition on and use a multimeter to check. If there's no voltage, the issue might be with the gauge itself or a wiring issue.
2. Inspect the Wiring: In my case, the wire inside the fuel gauge was broken, and the contacts on the fuel sender were corroded. If you find any damaged wires, replacing the gauge and sender unit is necessary.
3. Replacement Parts: I replaced both the fuel gauge and the sender unit. I would recommend checking the sender unit's length to ensure it's the correct fit for your tank. If you need part numbers or diagrams, the Bobcat Parts Catalog is a great resource to identify what you need.
4. Lift Tube Issue: Also, don't overlook the possibility of a broken lift tube in the tank. This can cause the gauge to show incorrect fuel levels. It's a common issue and easily fixable.
