Hey all,
My old opel had pretty much an identical vdo sender (just much shorter) and the vdo gauge was non linear. It read just about dead on (same amount of fuel in the first half as the second. Still trying to figure out the gauge in the 914. Took a long drive today to check on mpg highway (28mpg mixed driving, 2/3 70mph 1/3 60 through the hills). when I filled up this morning it was at 3/4 and took 3 gallons. I don't think I could have slipped another gallon in there although I don't like overfilling so I didn't try too hard. What have you found, particularly those of you with multiple 914s. Is it pretty much the same car to car? Are the gauges linear across the gauge? How many gallons left when it hits 2/4 and E? Here is a pic of the gauge from an opel gt.  |
