Help with fuel gauge problem

[bent8-58]

G'day guys,just got a curly one for you.l'm running a HT-HG fuel gauge & sender unit in my FC & out of the 5 or 6 fuel gauges l have all of them are broken.lts the little ceramic diode/resistor at the back of the gauge.Can anyone tell me what the hell this is & what rating/strength/resistance it is so hopefully l can solder another one in & have a working fuel gauge again. l took one in to Dick Smiths or Tandy they just looked at me like l had 2 heads!           Daz.

hi daz, i believe the FC gauge/ sender is 0-30 ohm.
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.

well thats good to know please keep me posted on that, i guess its one of those things that may work,.

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.....
