Paul, Paul, Paul.

Tsk, tsk.

You didn't get the gauge assembly lined up in it's exact original position.
You did mark the position before you removed it? You didn't? Tsk, tsk :o)

The float arm is binding on something - probably a fuel pump hose.

BTDT on a Type 44. The position of the float assembly is critical - 10
degrees off one way or the other can cause the float to hang up. Took me
three tries to get it right after I'd removed it without marking the
position (hey, you gotta learn somehow).

Great, NOW what the FFFFFFFFFFF did I do?

Yeah yeah yeah, did the FP last week only to have it do NOTHING.  Well,
nothing except now render my f'n FUEL GAUGE INOPERABLE!!!  WTF!?!?!?!

During sender removal, I was real careful with the unit as I KNEW it'd get
f'd if I wasn't easy.  Well, put it back in, now gauge will only travel to
the 3rd (last) red line (reserve) on the gauge.  WTF.  And the gas light now
has a mind of its own, going on and off at random.

WTF?!?  What's the trick?  Besides me never touching my car again and
storing it in one of them thar bubble units.

F me.
