Outer Limits 4x4 Board

When re-wiring the 40 I neglected to make a note the wiring connections for the fuel guage.

The sender in the tank has a single screw fitting on the top and the fuel guage has 3 connections on the back (Plus the one for the light which works ok)

The sender works (I think) In that it varies it resistance to earth when you move the float up and down.

Anyone have any ideas how to connect this thing up (It is a speco guage)

Cheers

it prolly wont be accurate with the stock sender go buy a speco sender unit and mount that in the tank

otherwise on the gauge there will be

+12v
ground
sender - connect this to the stock sender unit and jobs done
+12v light

Thanks, will let you know how I go

they work great i put one in my 45 . cost 50 bucks easy to install come with own gauge.

Or if you call VDO, there will be a gauge that works on the same resistance as the sender.

ive used the same one with guage supplied .my tank is a huge 120 litre so i had to convert the sender mount to half the old sender mount. as it didnt fit and was designed for top not side.it was a pin to get it to read and i cant set it to read when over half as my tank is split sectioned.to fix this i bought 2 guages one to read one sectiomn and 2nd for next half. almost like two tanks! mind u the pain of drilling another hole was 2 days work.!was it worth the bloody hassle?well its nice to know where ur at when fill ups are 180$.!and it does away with the pain in the arse of opening up two bloody fillers. i get 1000ks per tank on my 2.4 22r carby.if i take it easy. three fillups and a jerry and im across the country.
