Fuel sensor removal, repair and calibration procedure.
Depending on the year model and variant, mostly early Soarers were fitted with fuel senders of uncommon design, employing 3 large capacitors. Such senders are very accurate but with years of service tend to loose the accuracy and require simple repair and re-calibration. A simpler float-type fuel senders were fitted to later model Soarers. This procedure is concerned with the early design. A faulty fuel sender causes incorrect or eratic indications of fuel quantity in the combination meter. In the worst case the fuel gauge is oscillating between full and empty indications (with the dreaded bing on empty) about once each second when the fuel tank is full, rendering the fuel gauge completely useless.A detailed "step-by-step" illustrated procedure was prepared showing removal, repair and calibration of the fuel sender.
