Well that explains why it only work to half way?
Will a ST184 sender do? Can't imagine finding a ST185 around Canberra wreckers too easily.

Its a stasis fuel guage in all Toyota's from the early 90's, so it gives you a constant fuel reading at all times regardless of where the key is.
Yep - twin floats on the sender arm mate, I hope the other one is not at the bottom of your tank right now ! The second float gives the arm enough weight to read through the bottom half of your tank.
Call a Toyota dealer and ask for the part numbers for a ST182/4 unit and a 185 unit, if the part numbers are the same (and most likely they are), you are laughing.

MY st185 sender only had one float as well, but it worked fine.
The only problem i have with my fuel status, is that the fuel light doesn't come on any more.

Well if yours works............. 
Strange. So you boys are positive it's supposed to have 2 floats?
If I'm supposed to have 2, then the other is floating around somewhere, as the above pics show all I saw when I pulled it out 
|
The EPC picture of the fuel sender only shows one float as well....
So i dunno, possibly a bunged sender?
Grab a multimeter and check the resistience when you move it around.
