I am eyeing new gauges. The gauges I currently am leaning toward are Autometer and the fuel is 240 ohms empty to 33 ohms full. I am thinking that there is no way to "simply" change our 0-90 to this new range because it is upside down and a different range.
I guess what I am hoping for is to be able to reverse the polarity of the wires and put a resistor-gizmo in the line and get this to work- sorta. After all I am not overly impressed with the original setup. Mine is waaaaay full when it is full, stays there for 7-8 gallons, moves slowly to 3/4 and falls off like a hole was torn in the tank.
I know, it all has to do with the tanks swapping until the level is down and then really using from just one tank. I am sure my TBI return adds to the confusion here.
So, you folks that know about farads, ohms and linear stuff, can this be done or do I need to get a stick to poke down in the tank?
