hendrixhc 10,918 Posted January 31, 2021 Im looking at pissing off the fuel tank in the ute and fitting a fuel sell but id like to know for sure if the gauge uses a resistive sender. From what i can interpret from the service manual it does. I can get a 5 bolt sender from aeroflow in three different resistance ratings but as per usual on the internet everyone has an opinion but id prefer a definitive answer. Any help appreciated. 1 Outback Jack reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Do you have the Ford XG Workshop manual Hendrix?, I have one here if you don't, pretty sure I've seen a section on sender resistance.I'll go back out to Shed and grab it.....There you go mate.

hendrixhc 10,918 Posted January 31, 2021 Yeah thanks JAck, got one here. One section shows resistance but another suggests voltage outputs. It states that the resistance should be between 11 and 152 ohms, of course which doesnt exist as an aftermarket sender. 1 Outback Jack reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hendrixhc 10,918 Posted January 31, 2021 I guess i should really check the NC fairlane manual to cause i may use the digi dash with the weezer conversion 1 Outback Jack reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Crazy2287 1,886 Posted February 3, 2021 If you get a sender that has a range that is greater than the desired range for the instrument cluster, you can just adjust the length and position of the float arm to use the portion of the rheostat that matches the range required by the days. That is, design the float arm. So that it contacts the bottom of the fuel tank when the sender is at the "empty" resistance value and contacts the top of the fuel tank at the... You guessed it, "full" resistance. Older dash from x series like the digital dash won't work unless you use a box in-between to convert the resistance into volts. 1 hendrixhc reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
