The guage doesn't register on either tank. I was debating on if it wouldd be worth it to fix em. Truthfully, I haven't even looked at it yet. The look in the tank method kind of sucks.

I agree with Carrera. It would be unlikely that both sending units went out at the same time. I would start with the gauge, and work back from there. Hope this helps. -DD Out

Guages very seldom take a crap, not that they can't but not likely, since it don't read from either side I would start at the guage and trace the wires to the tanks, it may be at the swichover valve??.. :stupid

If both sides quit all should need to check is what is common to both, you may not need to trace back both senders. it could be under the dash or a bad ground. good luck :good

I have one of those too, but the tanks are slanted in and you can't get it in there very well to see what's up.

I always fill mine before I go out/on the way home from using the boat so I'm good 'til the guage drops at about 3/4 tank on both sides.
