[QUOTE="bobbie-g, post: 31641, member: 26"] The fuel gauge on my T180 has been showing full for way too long. I'm down to about an inch of fuel in the tank and it still reads completely full (round gauge on left panel, non-deluxe panel). I unplugged the wire harness at the sender, and the gauge then read empty. The sender at this point has 33 ohms of resistance. I'm betting the sender is mechanically stuck at the top, or some linkage has come apart to cause the electrical mechanism to move to the full position. I was warned by a Bobcat mechanic to not remove the sender from my 751 unless I had a new one to put in the tank. The used one (plastic body) evidently swells when it's removed and can't be replaced. The problem on the 751 is compounded by the fact that only a triple-jointed person with skinny and very long arms can reach it (impossible to see it). Any thoughts on the T180 sender? Anyone know what the normal range of resistance is for the sender? Manual doesn't say. Can it be removed and replaced? At least it's easily accessible. ---RC [/QUOTE]
