How's the Temp gauge behaving ?  they're  usually  wired in tandem  from the same voltage regulator.
     
      In other cars   it's easy to test and eliminate whether the the petrol gauge is faulty  by  earthing  one of the tank  float sender  wires  to obtain a  full  deflection of the gauge needle, but seeing it's  a Scorpio  it may be a lot more complicated.  
 
   There is wiring diagrams on this site, somewhere.

the temp gauge is working fine i think it may be the petrol sending unit. as im not  a mechanic im not sure who much it will cost to put right but i will try and get a quote this week. the trip works but obviously the petrol estimate is being judge by the gauge so until i fix that i dont think it has much use . cheers for your comments
