You can't trust miles until empty and if you have an Aeroforce gauge, the actual amount of gallons in the tank. All the calculations are based off a stock sized tank.
I can tell you that mine will hang at 1/4 of a tank. and stay there until it is empty. Lucky I found this out in the garage not on the road. I wont say how much I tore apart before I tried adding a few gallons of gas.Most of the time we are putting around 6-7 gals in. The gauge stays on full for a long time and then drops quickly. I don't want to see when it will run out so I fill it up pretty quick and end up not draining very far. So yeah, I have never put more than 10 gallons in. Just this weekend, i put 6.5 in when it was less than a quarter tank.
I think my gauge is hanging up too.I can tell you that mine will hang at 1/4 of a tank. and stay there until it is empty. Lucky I found this out in the garage not on the road. I wont say how much I tore apart before I tried adding a few gallons of gas.
I looked this up a while ago but never verified, 40 ohms empty 250 ohms full.If someone has their sending unit out, could you measure resistance between the purple and pink/orange wire with the float at both extremes?
That is what I have seen also, but I then found some contradicting material stating 0-90 ohm. I am going to hook a rheostat up to the wires tomorrow and will report back what I find.I looked this up a while ago but never verified, 40 ohms empty 250 ohms full.
I'd like the resistance of the sender unit in the goblin tank empty so I can modify the resistance to 40 ohms so my gauge is more accurate the closer it gets to empty.
0-90 ohms looks like '65-1997 fuel senders according to this site.That is what I have seen also, but I then found some contradicting material stating 0-90 ohm. I am going to hook a rheostat up to the wires tomorrow and will report back what I find.
~4.5v supply when key on, engine off. Confirmed as the 33-240 scale. My gauge pegs full around 50 ohms and would read full as long as the circuit is completed. Interestingly, the gauge reading is inversely proportional to the resistance.I looked this up a while ago but never verified, 40 ohms empty 250 ohms full.
