Alera's isn't jumpy, it is just off by like 50%. So ,when it reads
empty it still has 1/2 a tank...not necessarily a good thing since I
tend to push things. Just gets me to fill more often. I think I'll
live with it.

Edd,
Ditto on likely being a sender problem. I replaced mine with an
electronic one that had no moving parts and claimed to be free of
being ?jumpy?. Unfortunately, it stopped working after a couple of
months. Amazon

have replacements which get mixed reviews including bouncing
around. My tank is about 90% full by eye so as long as there is
wind, I?ll be looking for other options.
My tank (1991 C&C 37+) is 9-1/2? deep and the sender is 240-33 ohms.

Very likely a sender problem. The resistance winding in the sender
is fine wire which comes loose on the form. Suggest removing the
sender and having a crack at repairing it. Your problem could also
be a loose connection at the sender.

Listers,
The original fuel gauge on the Enterprise is very
?jumpy? ? bouncing back and forth from 1/2 tank to 3/4 tank and
everywhere in between.
In your experience, is this a sender problem or a gauge one?
All the best,
Edd
