<p>The gauges with voltage stabilizers work in a different resistance range. You would have to change out all of the electrical gauges. </p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>I think the problem with the fuel gauge jumping around may be related to the condition of the contacts in the fuel sending unit. Maybe try cleaning those up before trying anything drastic.</p>

<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>

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

I would suggest that you try this:<br>

<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>
