Need help with gas gauge sender -ohm's readings
« on: June 11, 2015 - 06:51:29 PM »
I'm installing speedhut gauges and need to know the ohms the sender is calibrated for?
My options are
240 ohms Empty and 33 ohms Full
=( 240/33)
70/10
0/30
0/90
10/180
90/0
16/158

My other option is to empty the tank calibrate , then fill the tank and calibrate , problem is I don't have enough gas cans to store the fuel while I'm calibrating.
Thanks!  :wave:

I will, yes GPS speedo too. I'm having an issue with the oil pressure gauge not working.
