Not done this, but has anyone tried putting a fat electrolytic capacitor across it, to smooth things out? -- Alan F Cross, Berkshire, UK BJ8 "Ginny"

Take a look at this web site. I just finished calibrating my fuel gage on my BN7 using the advise from this web site and got it to work perfectly. I did take the time to build the little test box wit

When I owned a GT6 it had a voltage stabalizer for the fuel gauge. It was a plug in unit. I have seen them for sale in some of the British Parts catalogs. Doug '56 BN2 Not done this, but has anyone t

Bill, when I was testing my float/gauge combination on the workbench I noted a similar behavior of the needle while moving the float. If you look at the path of the current you'll see that the curren

I am going to repeat a warning that I done a few times before over the years. It is not that I can prove a risk it is just that I wish to warn readers that there might be one. The tank units on our

Would a voltage stabilizer, such as those used in the Triumphs, be applicable to this situation? Doug '56 BN2

Your warning is a good one and should not be dismissed, however, [potentially] sparking components are pretty common in gasoline tanks (gauge sender, fuel pump, etc.). As long as the gaseous contents

For all of you with a strange behaving gas (fuel over here) gauge, I suggest you follow Ron Fines advice and check the document he suggests. Here's the link again http://mgaguru.com/mgtech/electric/
