G'day all,

One of the very very few problems I have had with my wagon is the bloody fuel gauge - it has never worked. I have adapted the VL gauge to the fc housing, used the VL wiring loom, has power to the gauge but cannot get a fuel level reading....

Any of our technically minded people have any thoughts?Huh

Cheers, Graeme

ps have a multimeter, just need to read the manual to work out how to use it  Smiley

You need to take guage and sender to a guage mob to get the ohm rating right.

I also seen a conversion box that simply plugs in ill find the link.

No idea. Depends on what's actually sending tour fuel and its resistance. I have a VS sender so a VH fuel gauge behind the FC front.
