Thinker of thoughts
Fuel level sensors interfere with each other
I'm (hopefully) sorting out the last electrical issue with my build. The fuel gauge does not seem to be working. I took the wiring off the tank and did some measuring. When I put a jumper wire across the output from the 2 fuel level sensors the gauge read full. The ohm reading across these, when in the tank with it almost empty, was 124 ohms which I don't think is correct. But then I took the one plate off the tank (the smaller one) and may have found an issue. Some reading on the forum also pointed to this.
It seems that the 2 fuel level sensor floats tangle with each other when installed. I think that may have been pushing at least one of them down below the fuel level. Anyways, is this normal and how to you get around it? I tried bending the wire supporting one of the floats and broke a piece of the plastic holder. Before I order a new float assembly it would be nice to know how to get them to not tangle with each other. I'm wondering if I can cut off the one float assembly and just use one, but not sure how to get the gauge to read properly.
