Fuel Gauge vs Fuel Level Sender

[NA5KAR]

Hi Guys. I plan to call Autometer on Monday to resolve this issue, but I figured that the answer to my issue might be floating around here. I have an Autometer 2652 Fuel Gauge (https://www.autometer.com/2-1-16-fuel-level-73-10-linear-z-series.html). The ohms are 73 Ω Empty / 10 Ω Full (LINEAR). Using my meter, the FFR fuel sender is 15.8 Ω Empty / 159 Ω Full. When the sender float is down, it shows full and when up shows empty. Not very responsive in between E and F either. Thoughts? Thanks so much.

That’s the normal ohm range for the kit’s Ford sender. Your gauge is not matched to it. Short answer you need a different gauge.

Thanks Jeff. I was expecting that answer.

Speedhut makes a programmable fuel level gauge and you can customize the gauge face with images. Maybe customize the face with an Autometer logo? Wouldn't hurt to ask. Plus I've seen stranger things. Like the 2020 Toyota Supra with BMW badging under the hood. Who knew?
