Ever since we replace the fuel pump on our 97 Chevy Blazer the fuel gauge reads a quarter tank no matter how much gas is in there. Is their a fuse that may need replacing?? All the other gauges are fine, I just really need to know how much gas I have when i am driving...its really hard to determine this by miles per gallon??

float assembly, called fuel sending unit.May be able to access under the carpet in the rear or you may have to drop the tank. If you replaced your fuel pump you probably saw it.

Well the fuel gauge is part of the pump assembly and the person doing the work partly failed. The new? unit may have a warentee or the person installing it got the float arm hung up on the flexable fuel line frm the motor to the top of the tank. ( seen it more than once ) Easy car to have this problem. Answer; DO THE JOB OVER

Was the electric plug on the fuel sending unit plugged back in ? if so then check fuse box, if thats ok then the work done wasn`t done right.
