Fuel Gauge Sender: Description and Operation
Fuel Level/Gauge
The system consists of the fuel level sensor and fuel gauge. The fuel gauge reads from 'Full' (70 liters/18.5 gal) down to 7 liters (1.8 gal), range 63
liters (16.65 gal). The sensor has a floater which affects the resistance depending on how much fuel is left. The resistance with the floater at its upper
limit is 10 ohm, rising to 325 ohm with the floater at its lower limit.
On connecting the fuel gauge (switch ignition on), it should show the fuel level accurately within 3 seconds. A yellow warning light comes on when
there are about 8 liters (2.1 gal) left in the tank.
