If your using a sender unit,I assume you filled the line to the sender with
enough fluid. Try and get all the air out. Jon, I've had terrible luck with
those sender units. I finally, deposited mine in the garbage and went
straight fuel to the cowl. It's more accurate too. I just never was satisfied
with the varying readings I got from it. There's not much to screw up on
these things. It probably is the sender.
