Resistance Across fuel sender

Post by Matt » Thu Apr 20, 2006 10:10 pm

Does anyone know the resistance change across the fuel sender unit in a MY/brumby? Just that i was looking at making up a low fuel indicator and need the restance to make it work.

Thanks

I believe jono and someone else were talking about fuel gauge/sender resistence levels with a gas conversion which would have told you what you needed but it seems to have been on the old board.

Sorry I couldn't be more help.

Senders across models differ, I changed my tank over and noticed that the sender from a Touring Wagon was different in resistance to the standard tank and dash. Sorry I cant remember what they were. I will have a look in my Haynes manual tomorrow for you.

Thanks subanator, it looks like I might have to measure it a couple of times and work it out. I will post results when i get around to it.
Thanks Again
