Re: Fuel Gauge Does Not Work

Reading this post on stove bolt I see where you got the 47 ohm resistor thing https://www.stovebolt.com/ubbthreads...&Number=100898 It looks like the OP there had the same problem November 7, 2006 and the resistor wasn't a real solution. There the solution was swapping the resistor in the sender in the tank out for a 30 ohm resistor. That still may be the best solution.

Searching around on the net I found this unit from Speedway.

Some serious homework and question asking would be needed but this unit may be a solution. https://www.speedwaymotors.com/Speed...ule,66534.html

77 C 30 dualie, 454, 4 speed with a 10 foot flatbed and hoist. It does the heavy work and hauls the projects around.
