<html><div>Hey Simon,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>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.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Cheers,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Doug<br><br>Hi Simon, I think that keeping any sort of energy storage device well away from the fuel gauge circuit is sage advice.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">Hi,</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">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.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">So, my nephew’s fuel gauge bounces around far more than mine and this prompted me to dig out the article/notes.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">First off, I agree that there’s no sense in putting the capacitor anywhere near the fuel tank.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">Having said that, I read the advice that I’d stored so carefully and began to wonder if I’d understood it correctly.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">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?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">Shouldn’t the capacitor be wired in such a fashion that the fluctuations cannot bypass it?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">Maybe I’m over complicating things and should just try it without understanding it. Maybe I think too much.</div>
