zetec Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 does this work on resistance? does anyone know the scale of the ohms? reason is -ive fitted a stack gauge & it works but its not right ☹️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stationary M25 Traveller Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 Yes .... believe the float turns a potentiometer, or wipes a wire coil like a Scalextric controller. Why not use a multimeter and measure the resistance through the full movement range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zetec Posted January 17, 2014 Author Share Posted January 17, 2014 good idea,but I wanted to avoid a) draining & filling tank & b) taking out sender Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abbot Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 You are 1 week too late with your question See My Post I had my sender on the bench last weekend and checked the sender was working by testing the changing resistance with position. Sorry I did not not the values. On my crossflow it was very easy to get the sender out, no need to empty the tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zetec Posted January 17, 2014 Author Share Posted January 17, 2014 Good news. I will do it later tonight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zetec Posted January 18, 2014 Author Share Posted January 18, 2014 Fantastic & simple when you take out sender & work it yourself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keybaud Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 Fuel gauges expect a sender to work in one of two ways, which I think are as follows: 90 Ohms empty to 0 Ohms full or 20 Ohms empty to 265 Ohms full The sender should be matched to the guage, but these values should help identify what you have, if it is not working properly.
