Mine sticks if I let it sit for a couple of weeks. I whack with a mallet on the top of the tank near the sender solves the problem. Capt. George

Basically it is sticking because the little white gear at the bottom of the sender is cracked or broken, like mine was. Whacking it worked for awhile but eventually it had to replaced.

I replaced my sender with a WEMA stainless tube and sliding donut magnet reed type. It still sticks and needs a whack. Capt. George
