Hey Simon, The Triumph Spitfires and GT6, I believe, had voltage stabilizers
for the fuel gauge. Maybe they could be used in a Healey? I would defer to
Michael for an answer. Cheers, Doug
Hi Simon, I think that keeping any sort of energy storage device well away
from the fuel gauge circuit is sage advice.I would suggest that you try this:

Hi,I’d saved something relating to damping the fluctuations in my fuel
gauge. I don’t recall if it was originally posted here or if I trawled it
off the net. I’d made a few notes and filed it appropriately against some
day in the future when I might get round to actually doing it.So, my
nephew’s fuel gauge bounces around far more than mine and this prompted
me to dig out the article/notes.First off, I agree that there’s no sense
in putting the capacitor anywhere near the fuel tank.Having said that, I read
the advice that I’d stored so carefully and began to wonder if I’d
understood it correctly.Is the capacitor really supposed to be wired across the
two terminals on the gauge? Would it have any effect? To put it crudely, but in
the language that I can understand, wouldn’t the fluctuations still come
down the Green/Black wire from the sender unit and hit the gauge’s
terminal T? And wouldn’t those fluctuations still register as such on the
gauge, totally unaffected by the capacitor?Shouldn’t the capacitor be
wired in such a fashion that the fluctuations cannot bypass it?Maybe I’m
over complicating things and should just try it without understanding it. Maybe
I think too much.Simon
