i fitted a 2nd fuel tank ages ago to my TD42 and wired both tanks to the standard fuel gauge and use a switch and pollak valve to flick between the 2 tanks. I found the sub tank reasonably accurate but the main tank very inaccurate due to the extra resistance from extended wires.
purchased a vdo fuel level guage and was told it will work on 1 of 2 fuel senders.(50/50 chance of had the right one). Of course i had to have the wrong one and sub gauge is useless.
does anyone know the resistance of the GQ fuel guages? at empty, half and full?
the tank is a LRA and as far i know uses the same standard GQ sender and is the same as the auxillary tank used in the petrol/gas conversions.
can i please have the width of the sender plate that seals at the tank also? (6 bolt)
alternatively im open to suggestions and which other a/m gauges will be compatible with standard sender.
It appears the other sender will not fit my tank.
anyone know if i can buy the vdo sender and swap the electronics/float etc?
Thanks
