Some reason gas gauge stopped working yesterday. Turn key off then on reads empty. Unplug wire to sending unit reads 3/4. Will stay at 3/4 until u cycle on off again. Any Ideas????

Not sure but I haven't really trusted Polaris digital fuel gauges for a while. I've been on a number of Sportsmans and my own ranger and I don't find the bar level identified on the instrument cluster matches up very well with what's actually in the tank.

A typical example is when I'm nearly empty it's not uncommon for the fuel gauge to show half tank or more. Kinda scary. But I always bring extra fuel even for a short trip.

I hope you find a solution to your issue!

Well pulled the fuel pump using the Polaris fuel pump tool "aka big ass pipe wrench" pretty sure the float arm became detached "either that or it fell off while removing it." Put it back on using same special tool. Guess I'll find out if it works.

I've owned 4 Sportsmans and now a Ranger The one thing I can tell you Is to never trust their gauges After time you get a feel for how much fuel is still left It's a shame with the amount of money that we spend You would think they would put more attention into the fuel gauges considering what we use them for

check the float. many times the foam absorbs gas and will no longer float up and down with the gas. I hung an old carburetor float off of mine on my 07, worked great.

Gauge Float Only

The float was fine so either the arm came of or the sending unit is bad. Sucks the fuel pump and sending unit is all one piece. Up till now my gauge has been pretty accurate.

I wish popo would make the fuel tank the wat that have but give us a long "clear" bar to visually see the level as a back up. Just hit it with a flashlight and boom done.

Yeah that would be nice. My sending unit is shot. I'll just keep up with it by mileage

There is a gas cap you can buy that has the gauge on it.. can't remember where I saw it but they are out there
