I've tested fuel level floats by connecting an ohm meter across the contacts. You can at least verify that the signal changes with movement of the float. Just be glad that the float access is where it is.

Whew ! it sure is .
THANK YOU Bill ! . I read _all_ of the previous links (whew) and none seemed to deal with my problem .
I'm betting it's the gold plated contacts in the float as I've had to clean off some mighty nasty crud....
Maybe my next step is to make up a rheostat and plug to dynamically test the gauge head and attendant wiring .

Thanx Bill ! .
My issue is : the gauge never drops below 1/4 tank .
The low fuel lamp works fine and I got over 50 miles out of it once.....
