Testing Ohms on sending unit
Testing Ohms on sending unit
Trying to figure out which fuel level gauge my 98 Chevy truck needs. I thought it was the 0 empty 90 full, but that gauge didnt work. So I took the pump and sending unit out of the tank, and put a voltmeter on it to test the ohms. Its reading 39-40 Empty and like over 200 full. I think its like 240 full.
Problem is, I cant find a gauge for this application on Summits online store...
Does this seem like a correct reading? and can I get a gauge that works?

those ohm readings sound about right
I believe I have seen a gauge(digital) that you could program in the min(E) and max(F) ohms readings
I know you can with the Dakota Digital hot rod gauges

OK, I know this autometer C2 gauge will work for you, are you trying to match any other gauges? If you are, I will look into those

This looks like the right numbers but backwards.

I might need to get on the phone with autometer monday and see what they say.
