PEEL CP94 Setup

[lenners121 1]

I bought myself a Peel CP94 box for my dual fuel xf. I'm having some troubles getting it to work (at all). I followed the wiring diagram found online to run with the 'gas' going to the positive terminal on the gas gauge inside the tank, 12V teeing into the gas solenoid valve as that was the only wire in my boot that had 12V and I already tried using the positive on the petrol sender but that didn't put out enough current. I'm running a dedicated earth inside the boot as to avoid any bad earthing issues. and the 'dash' being the yellow/green wire running into the petrol sender. The wiring seemed to be correct but I'm not getting any reading on the cluster (its a fairlane dash. whether that makes any difference in the matter). It reads full constantly and adjusting the little knob on the side of the box makes no difference, and when the reading did change it did so very slowly over say a 10 minute period.

 

I'm not bothered by not having a petrol gauge as I never run on petrol and always have 1/4 tank but my main concern is getting the gas to read accurately. I've read on this forum that people had problems with this unit and emailing Peel themselves didn't help. The way I see it, I may have somehow damaged the unit when I initially hooked it up to the petrol sender wires (all three; positive, earth and dash). The unit itself still works though as when I tickle the 12V wire on the battery I can hear clicking coming from inside the box.

 

Does anyone have an idea on how to set this thing up to work properly? (if at all)

Thanks

 

Picture is how i've set it up

When i installed one of these in my car i had the +12V line was from the solenoid +12.

The GND was as you said a fresh earth in the boot.

The GAS wire is the positive wire from the gas level gauge.

Now the hinky bit. To get the other 2 connections you cut the yellow green wire and the section that goes directly to the sender goes to the PET connection on the Peel unit.

The loom end of the yellow green goes to the DASH connection.

 

Hope that goes some way to clearing that up.

 

Also, when i was using this unit i had to go roughly 160KM's before the Ghia dash would recognise a fuel drop. Then when the gauge read empty, i actually had about 120km's worth of gas left in the tank.

All the adjuster knob did for me was change how many km's before the dash dropped off full.

Thanks for the help, after looking closely again at how I'd wired it up, it looks like I'd done it all right but the thing still didn't work. Bit dissapointing really. David Peel slugged me $100 for it too.

Had any joy with this? I've just removed my peel unit from my car, so if you need $20 and freight and it's yours.
