hey folks - gotta pondering topic for ya...
What determines the accuracy of a fuel tank sending unit? Obviously the
proper float placement has a major impact, if the float is bent it will
read incorrectly from what its supposed to (bent down, tank will read
high, bent up - tank will read low...
The sending units basically are resistors, that vary voltage to the
gauge depending on float position, thus giving a reading on the fuel
level.
But when it comes to the electronics of it, will a guage read properly -
if you take a gauge and hook it up to various sending units. For
example, lets assume that a chevy fuel tank with its stock chevy sending
unit is wired into the gauge on a dodge instrument cluster. Will the
dodge gauge read the fuel level in the chevy fuel tank correctly?
