Been searching the forums and cannot seem to locate which one of the VDO Cockpit fuel gauges work with our 914 sending units?
10-180 ohms 10-65 ohms 0-90 ohms Putting a 911 combo oil temp/press gauge in the 914 hole and using a 2 1/16 fuel gauge in the dash. Thanks and sorry in advance if my lack of search skills shows this has already been covered. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

You can also try to wire up a low fuel warning light .. ..That's right, I remember you loose the low level light. Not a big deal if I recall as the small fuel gauge with sending unit winds up being pretty accurate. Yep, I plan on installing a small red warning light somewhere near the separate fuel gauge - 'cause honestly I don't trust myself not to accidently run it out. BTW, as mentioned, it's usually the VDO beetle gauge 301.020 that's recommended .. but I see it's range is actually 73-10 ohm... and the 914 sender is (said to be) 70/90-0 ohm. So my 0.5 ohm (empty) gauge would theoretically be better. Then in the chart posted earlier - reserve light 'just off' is shown to be 69.5 ohm. I wonder what the true empty number is? |
