Installed the new sending unit and voila my new Auto meter gauge is working.
I noted the position of the float at the bottom of it's stroke. Just a tad below the pick up screen. Seemed perfect.
My issue is, (it is an old Tom's 13 gallon poly tank) with less than 10 gallons in it the gauge reads way past full. I know the bottom of the float stroke is at a pretty good spot since 2 gallons didn't move it off of Empty. But when I dumped in approx 7 more gallons for a total of about 9 the gauge swung way past full.
Here's a dumb question.....
Is it going to be bad for my Autometer gauge to read way past full so much?
What has been your experience with the aftermarket fuel gauge installation?
I do have the correct ohm range gauge. You guys helped me with that too.
