Fuel Cell

I'm looking to relocate my gas tank on my truck and have a fuel cell from another project. I was wondering if there is a way to get my fuel gauge to work? THanks for any input.

Re: Fuel Cell

You need to find a variable adjustment or a pickup that is the same resistance )ohms) as the stock gauge. It seems to early to think at the moment, but I believe ours works off of a 90 ohms resistance. Hopefully someone can chime in and correct my o-2-early memory.

Re: Fuel Cell

They make 0-90 ohm senders for fuel cells. Summit should have them. They are only about $40

Best pass with the old dragtruck:

Best pass with the street 406 hydraulic roller motor w/ mild plate tuneup
5.93 @ 114 mph 1/8 mile w/ a 1.29 60' 2003 or 2004

Re: Fuel Cell

The GM sendors work off of 0-90 ohm's resistance. Can't remember which is empty and which is full. Anyway, the gauge displays the level based on this resistance. The 0-90 senders that summit sells for the fuel cells come in several types. The 0-90 is compatible with the older GM stuff.
