Sorry guys, you are right. I need to provide more info. Gas tank and sending unit are from S10 so 0 to 90 ohm (I was using a 47 ohm resistor in parallel with the gas gauge which should have made the gauge read close). I totally forgot that the gas gauge would be 6 volt. So looks like the best option would be a new 12 volt gas gauge.

Thanks for the help.
