[oletrucks] gas gauge problem (score: 1): Author: "Ronald Tofani" <rontof@hotmail.com>; Date: Thu, 04 Nov 1999 16:31:20 EST; Can anyone advise as to where to start in determining whats wrong with my gas gauge? It may be the unit in the tank. Where do I start? Will replacing the unit in the tank take care of the problem? Th; /html/oletrucks/1999-11/msg00119.html (7,862 bytes)

Simmons" <gls@4link.net>; Date: Fri, 5 Nov 1999 09:30:11 -0800; I think Ron's problem is unlikely to be the ground, since the gauge apparently worked fine before his conversion to 12 volts. Rather, the problem is the gauge itself, which was designed for six volts; /html/oletrucks/1999-11/msg00147.html (10,402 bytes)

Re: [oletrucks] gas gauge problem (score: 1): Author: "Charles Culver" <sculver@iwl.net>; Date: Fri, 5 Nov 1999 11:02:51 -0800; In addressing Ron's gas gauge problems, you mention a newer style sending unit. My gauge works fine, but as the gas sloshes around in the tank, the needle jumps around as the float bobs up and down.; /html/oletrucks/1999-11/msg00148.html (7,803 bytes)

Older gauges used a continuous voltage feed from the sending units. Later ones take an intermittent feed. I think the reason for this is to average out the signa; /html/oletrucks/1999-11/msg00149.html (9,006 bytes)
