Hey everyone, so I've been working on an 86 c20 and when I first it, it only had the passenger fuel tank but I decided to take it out and buy a new tank and sending unit (because the old tank and sending unit were absolutely trashed) and hook everything up on the drivers side. Bypassing the selector valve was easy as far as the hoses go but I cant get the electrical to work right, when the tank has 1/4tank of gas it reads at 1/8 and so on. Basically the entire gauge is compressed into half of it. The only thing that was done on the selector valve was taking the main wire that runs to it and running it to the tank instead of keeping it going to the selector valve and running the actual wire for the drive side to the tank. Also I know that the sending unit is grounded good. Anyone have any ideas as to why the gas gauge isn't working right? Sorry if that's all hard to understand, me and my dad have both worked on it so I'm just kinda putting all the bits and pieces together
