Hi Gang,
I did a little maintenance on my fuel tank, the pick-up
tube and the fuel level sender last night. Mostly, I was in
clean-up mode. However, the scientist in me made me
test the sender and measure the resistance at settings
between empty and full. Here's what I found using my
old analog meter. The numbers are imprecise but I wanted
to watch for jumps in the hand (indicating a damaged
variable resistor) rather than record high precision resistance
measurements. The analog ohmmeter is better for this.
Full tank: ~20 ohms
Empty tank: ~200 ohms.
About 6 months ago I measured the current necessary
to make full scale indications on the gauges -- but of course,
I can't find that data now. :-| Yet, if we had that data, we
could now "close the loop."
Best regards,
rick (a.k.a. Geek)
