Took me half of the day! I have tried three aftermarket fuel gauges that were supposed to work. I even called and ordered one from AA, nope didn't work. Of course I gave up trying to get my $$ back. SSOOOOOoooo this is how I did it.
1. Take apart your stock fuel gauge and carefully remove all the guts, including the needle without damaging anything. This takes lots of time! 2. Mark on the sensor where + is on it with it felt pen. 3. Take apart your oil temp gauge, note how the sensor is mounted. The fuel sensor needs to be mounted upside down so the needle sweeps right. Install the terminal connection on the back noting where the + is so it lines up. 4.Use this pic to glue over the gauge face after cutting out the holes for the screws and the needle peg is. Carefully as it shows. 5. Install the needle ever so carefully just beyond the E. 6. Install glass and case cover 7. Install in car 8. Extend the wires down to the console good to go. Geoff Oh, to make this face I just scaned it and then Photoshopped it adding the right info and deleting the words "TEMP". I used a high grade brochure paper which glues onto the face plate with spray glue. Attached image(s)
