1294766 2012-08-15 06:14:00 I have never put up with crook gas gauges. In fact on some of my vehicles I have calibrated them particularly the mt end of the scale.
Make vehicle level bend the float or bend out stops so when minimum usable fuel is the tank it reads E. If I cant calibrate it I will replace the sender or the gauge until it is correct. For some older vehicles I buy a US made gas gauge kit from a marine place in Beaumont Street, it comes with an extendable sender arm for any size vehicle gas tank.
Can have a problem with mixed senders and gauges with changes of fuel tanks I have made a resistance bobbin to calibrate the mismatch. The gauge is really a voltmeter and the sender a variable resistor.
