    It looks like i have a bad ground where the wire from fuel sending unit leads as my fuel gauge goes up and down after the half tank. I track that wire, it goes into a bundle where everything looks fine but I can’t find where those wire meet the ground. Do have any idea about the location of ground terminals?
    Thank you.

    My fuel gauge sometimes shows empty but then shows a different amount. I’ve been told it happens to other trucks as well. I keep a wooden stick and dip it in the tanks to make sure, the old school method.

    Could just be the sending unit for the tank. Unless you can verify the ground is bad.
