Hino FD 1024, 500 Series 2008.

Hi guys,
This morning I filled up the fuel tank but the fuel gage on the dashboard remains at E, empty,
Any suggestions to what might be causing this fault???

I imagine the fuel level sensor is the culprit.

If you unplug the sensor and jump the terminals at the harness connector, the gauge should swing to full.

Hi greasytshirt,
I don’t mean to be a pain in the butt but it’s the fuel sensor, the small round part that’s bolted to the top of the fuel tank?
And if so, all I will need to do it’s, unplug the sensor, unbolt the part and replace it with a new one, correct?

Where’s the harness connector located?

Yes and yes.

Where’s the harness connector located?

The plug/wires that connect to the sensor.

I unplugged the wires that connect to the top of the sensor on the fuel tank but the gage remains at E???

 

[Bruno De Sousa]

where Do the wires that leave the fuel sensor on the tank connect to??
It’s a long wire that seems to go under the cabin somewhere??
If I could find where those wires connect to I could unplugged them as well to see if the gage will swing back up.

You need to connect the 2 wires together and if the gauge goes to full then the sensor is bad.

Thank you FlyingVan,
Connect both wires with the truck running, right?

Fuel Level Sensor was the culprit!!
