[Roadsters] Gas tank electrical question

[Gary and Cindy Ault]

Steve,

The tank unit is just a variable resistor, through which current flows to 
ground.  The deflection of the gauge depends on the magnitude of the 
current.  It should make no difference which way current flows through the 
tank unit.  If it were important, I think Nissan would have marked the 
terminals.
