Fuel guage Ohms

[A112H]

Does anyone know what Ohm the stock Galant fuel guage/sender is? My fuel cell runs 0 - 90 Ohm and I don't know if this will work with my sender or not. If not, can you buy a resister or something to make my guage work correctly?

Jason, don't know if it's the same but here is a couple of pages out of the '77 LB lancer workshop manual.




Hope this helps.

Cheers.

Looks good SS but sadly it means a heap of stuff all to me, lol. All I can tell you confidently about electrics is not to lick power points and don't piss on a electric fence

I'll see what I can find for you..

According to the insert manual it won't work as your fuel cell, 0-90ohm and the factory is 17-120ohm. So I don't think you could use a resistor. You would have to muck around and adjust the voltage regulator to suit the new one.

Put in an 33ohm 5watt resistor on the output of the fuel cell and you now have 33- 123ohm.
Empty will be spot on but full may show a bit low (as long as the Lancer fuel sender is the same as the galant).

Cheers for that SS, your a dead set champ
