LPG guages, looking for different ideas

Hi, just looking to put something together so i have an LPG guage on the dash. Looking to create my own from 9 LED's as I believe most tanks run a 90ohm sender from the tank.

Has anyone done this before? am I wrong about most tanks being 90ohm?

Are there any other ideas out there?

Thanks

Azz

autometer make gauges with 0-90 ohm for use with lpg if you are going a aftermarket dash

i used to run the 0-90 into the standard cruiser gauge worked fine but backwards

OEM Toyota fuel gauge resistance: Full = 17 +/- 2.1 ohms Half = 40 +/- 4.5 ohms Empty = 120 +/- 6.5 ohm

so really if you fitted a 20 ohm resistor inline the gauge would be quite accurate but backwards
