For a while, I kept a wooden yard stick in my trunk.
If anybody would ask, "how much gas do you have?"
I would poke the stick down in the tank

My vote is the voltage stabilizer. Be careful to not mix up all
those green wires. Make sure the unit is grounded to the
back of the speedo. (if not the gauges will read too high.
