    Champion 210--Gas sending unit

    Hi guys, I'm also having an issue with my sending unit always reading empty.
    Connecting wires look fine. I measured he ohms and it's reading 250.
    Would the next step be to pull out the sending unit and manually move the float?
    Or does the 250 ohms mean that my sending unit is bad?

    If you have integrity, nothing else matters. If you don't have integrity,
    nothing else matters.​

    Yes, but accessing it would also let you check the wiring from the sending unit toward the gauge. If your 210 has had the rocker switch conversion, one of the steps is to cut the old harness wiring and butt splice in wiring out of the new harness. That could be a possible location for failure.

    Thanks for the information, I will start from there.
    I don't have the rocker conversion yet.
    Also I have the Champion multi functional gauges with the green wiring
    harness as you described.

    If you can get a working fuel gage check it on your unit
    I went through the process of replacing sending unit and my issue was the gage it’s self
