fuel sender resistances

« on: February 05, 2013, 23:17:06 pm »

Hi guy's,

I want to order a 'autometer' fuel gauge to complete the load out on my 1965 beetle. Now they sell 4 different gauges to use but i have no idea what the OHMS resistance on a vw sender...

Has anyone tested there's to see what OHMS resistance is and what autometer fuel gauge did you buy?

Any help on this would really help,

Clarke

The Autometer gauge doesn't use a dedicated sender of the same brand? I figured that would be the case for any aftermarket/non-OEM fuel gauge set-up, but I'm out of the loop on this one. I know I'm struggling to get my stock gauge to work properly in my '70 Beetle, and I've replaced every part imaginable. I can only figure that maybe the sending unit is defective at this point.

73 Ohm - 10 Ohm.
Found this Googling, and it's actually pretty clear and concise. Good write up.

I used this one which has the correct reading for a stock sender
