The fuel light on my motorcycle (a Triumph Dayton 955i) came on recently and steadfastly refused to go off, even with a full tank of fuel.
My mechanic swapped it out for a new unit and gave me the old one to play with. I have often wondered exactly how a fuel sender unit works, so I took it apart and investigated.
