Default Fuel Gauge Calibration

I ran outta gas the day I bought this vette. :mad I used to think "What kind of moron runs out of gas?" Well now I know.

There was one bar at the bottom of the digital gauge (92 LT1) and then it was game over.

My previous 94 would go down to zero and show "LO" on the range category on the computer. Is it possible to recalibrate this gauge - or is it a sending unit problem requiring the removal of the gas tank.

Of course - it's easiest to recalibrate me... but if it was easy... :jester

Default Re: Fuel Gauge Calibration (mitchcole)

This would be a good product for someone with the resources to produce.

A fuel tank sending unit with the Walbro pump and a modified non-linear wound coil for the fuel gauge sending unit that matches the non-linear fuel tank volume -- presto, an accurate fuel gauge.

RaceTronix!!!!! Hint, hint, hint. Are you listening????
