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 http://www.amazon.com/Moeller-Marine-Electric-Sending-Tanks/dp/B000MTI15K/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8 <http://www.amazon.com/Moeller-Marine-Electric-Sending-Tanks/dp/B000MTI15K/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1402160579&sr=8-3&keywords=marine+fuel+tank+sending+unit> &qid=1402160579&sr=8-3&keywords=marine+fuel+tank+sending+unit and West Marine http://www.westmarine.com/moeller--electric-fuel-gauge-sending-units--P006_180_003_536 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. Regards, Ron Ronald V.

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.

In your experience, is this a sender problem or a gauge one? All the best, Edd Edd M.
