The fuel level shown on the Volvo Penta engine analyzer which comes from the mechanical float is incorrect. I have read that it is rare for the in-tank float to go bad. Can you advise whether we should change the float sending unit, and if so, the part number? Does it come with a new gasket? Or, if it’s an electrical issue from the sending unit to the engine analyzer, how do we troubleshoot that?
