## Discrepancy

PILOTS MADE PRECAUTIONARY LANDING DUE TO ILLUMINATION OF LOW FUEL LIGHT.  AFTER INVESTIGATION, FOUND THAT THE FUEL SENDER FLOAT CONTACTED THE LOW FUEL SENDING UNIT NOT ALLOWING THE FLOAT TO DROP ANY FURTHER,THEREFORE, THE GAUGE CONTINUED TO READ APPROX 8 GALLONS.  AFTER REMOVAL, FOUND SENDING UNIT ARM BENT.
