fuel gauge/tank sender unit help needed pls
can someone let me know if it is possible to get the fuel gauge on the honda blackbird clocks working accurately in a car. I assume its the sender
unit that effects the reading but what do i need to get it accurate as at the mo its all over the place especially under cornering!!!!!does the
voltage type make a difference and to be fair i don't know what i'm talking about when it comes to electrics.... any help greatly
appreciated cheers

I have one of these in my tank, and whilst I have not driven the car, I have tested it under a variety of levels. I had to modify the float position
and the shape of the 'float wire' with lots of very careful bending.
I started by making sure the range it moved through covered the full range of readings, then went from there to make sure that the levels in between
were accurate. There are two very subtle stop points on the resistor, and if you go past these points, the level jumps all over the pleace. I would
take the sender out of your tank, dry it off for a couple of days, then play with it on the bench. It takes a lot of time and bending to get the
perfect range. Mine also takes a good 2-3 seconds to react to a change (but it may be my clocks taking the time and not the sender itself). I hope
this helps...
