Another fuel gauge thread

[joedoozer]

Tired of them yet? Haha. Well thanks to this board, I was able to solve my fuel gauge problem. Instead of adding a resistor, I just bought a new gauge. 90 ohm gauge to go with my 90 ohm s/u. Well its in, and it works......sort of. The needle decides to rest, where ever it pleases when the truck is off. First few times, was at 8 o'clock. After filling the tank it rests at around 4 o'clock when the truck is off. The gauge seems to work fine when its on, other than the needle bouncing around when the fuel sloshes around.

Is this normal that the needle just rests where it wants? And is there any way to slow the reaction time down of the gauge? So when the fuel sloshes around it doesn't send the gauge bouncing?

Thanks for the help and the patience of another fuel gauge thread.
