Nobodys' works. Set the trip od and stop when yopu need it. Or on a trip just get gas everytime you need to us the facilities. Works for me. BTW, FI might be great but I still like having "reserve"

My gauge quit and when I took it out and on the sending unit I found that one of the fingers on the resister had broken the tip off. I bent the arm back down to make contact and it went to working again except it's not very accurate now, it reads empty at about 110mi. instead of 140---jack

On my 06 Super Glide I accidently disconnected mine when I moved the tank back to get at the wires in the neck. There is a connector that runs along the backbone on the left side under the tank. I can't remember if the light still worked on my bike when I did that.
