Sender fitted	Sender on the lower limit	Sender on the upper limit
Fuel gauge senders -G-	300 … 310 Ω	53.5 … 59 Ω

Note t  The measurement value 0 indicates a short circuit; the value ∞ Ω indicates an open circuit. t  To test the maximum and minimum resistance values for „tank full“ and „tank empty“, remove the fuel delivery unit → Chapter and move the sender float all the way to its top or bottom position. t  When the fuel level indicator -G- is removed and due to the large floater range of movement, the following values are obtained:

Sender removed	Sender on the lower limit	Sender on the upper limit
Fuel gauge senders -G-	271 … 296 Ω	55 … 69 Ω
