Fuel Level Sender - Resistance Range

[ALN]

Hello,

I am looking to change the fuel gauge for an Autometer version and wanted to know if any one knows the Fuel Sender resistance range from empty to full?

Thanks!

The attached might be of use:

need to know the ohms of the fuel gauge

My sender took a poop on me, aswell as the gas tank so i have a fuel cell coming, it has a gm style sender 0 ohms= empty 90 ohms =full, i need to find out the ohm range for a 77 280z, any help finding the answer would be awsome, i would measure mine but it doesnt work

forums.hybridz.org

It states

90 ohms=empty, 10 ohms=full. Datsun works backwards from most other senders

Thanks grb184,

I've seen that article, just wanted to get a second opinion from a member of this forum to verify.
Autometer offers 0-90 which is the wrong way round, but they also offer a 73-0 which is the right way round, but the gauge will read Full for a longer period of time.

2-5/8

3515 Gauge, Fuel Level, 2-5/8

Interestingly, the gauge markings are not linear, so I guess that may work....

If all else fails go to 'SPIYDA'. They are an English firm who make a little box of electronics that you wire between the sender and the gauge. It allows you to adjust the settings so the gauge will read accurately across its range. It even allows you to adjust the 'damping affect' so the gauge doesn't jump up and down whilst your driving.

I think there's a discount code for Spiyda in the members area.
