Just wondering what I have to do to figure out if my float got stuck in my tank somehow when I was reinstalling after doing the PPRV delete.
Just a standard fuel hat, both stock pumps, after install I turned the car forward and saw that the low fuel light was on and my gauge was at empty...
So i have now pulled it for the third time after all the bullshit of the PPRV getting kinked and now when i pulled it out the float was attached to the sender...

Just wondering how I go about measuring it, i believe it runs off resistance..correct me if im wrong and what should the values be? Or should i just check if its gaining resistance as i move is up and down...

I really hope this thing isnt broken hahaha

The steel rod the float is attached to, often gets bent and can be bent back into position if you know what that is,

It is also common to break the sender(potentiometer) portion of the pump assembly.
If that happened you can get a new one at 10% over cost from Tousley Ford.
