custom dash

[stevie_a]

I have a question :
I am doing a custom dash for the car, i have tried two or three fuel gauges and finally found one i like.
But with all of them when you drive the gauge needle fluctuates to much.
How do i fix this ?

Low fuel warning switch (TKC4017) faulty?

Hi Beans

I have had so much problems with the fuel gauge, i have independently wired a new gauge, so i have nothing in the line for a voltage stabilizer.
going what you say the Low fuel warning switch is a stabilizer ?

I also notice the Rimmers quote a as a TKC4017 Is a Fuel Pump Assembly - Cranked Lever Type - Push On Connections

If i want to add a separate Low fuel warning switch just for the fuel gauge, how would i wire one up ?

The standard gauge is so designed that it does not need a voltage stabiliser.Some gauges are damped and some are not,I have cars with both,the non damped one swings about as the fuel sloshes about.Some research is needed.The low fuel relay is a heated wire which bends and turns on the light so made so the lamp stays lit and does not flicker.Not much help to you but good fun with your dash.Steve

I have e-mailed the gauge manufacturers, they have asked me to fit a second earth to the float in the tank.

I have my doubts, but will try.
