I put gas in the 49 for the first time this weekend since its new gas tank and sending unit install.
The car has been changed to 12 volt and new gauges installed before I got it, and the gauge always worked, but I figured might as well just go new with the new tank (and yes it is compatible with the gauge, even same company).
Anyway, before even putting it in the tank I tested it using the cars wiring and gauge and it worked perfectly. Now after putting gas in it nothing, it stayed at empty. I even tried to tighten the ground some more and ended up stripping the screw (my luck of course), and I tried to run a jumper ground to see what happened. Nothing. I stuck the ground jumper on the positive ant it jumped to full, so know its getting juice. I was so mad it took everything I had not to take a sledge to the car.
Any ideas what is going on? I don't want to drop the tank again, so don't even know how Im going to fix the stripped screw yet so it don't leak. The car is getting very close to loosing its happy home!
