i spoke to howard instruments in melbourne and this is what they told me. daggsey, said that he is running a HQ sender( i think, check his post under efi) and this worked with the FC gauge, i am going to try this myself with a commodore sender. let me know if it works please. dean Title: Re: Help with fuel gauge problem Post by: FC427 on July 06, 2008, 06:06:54 PM Dean I have used a Commodore fuel tank sender and pump for a FC and it works will let you know how accurate it works in a couple of weeks when it gets rego .......FC427.......

when i spoke to the lady at howard instruments she seemed to know her stuff as she said straight away what i needed to get done... i might have a scrounge around wreckers during the week to see if i can grap a cheap sender unit..... |
