Aight,

As most of you know, electricity is my downfall when it comes to figuring shit out. I just have a problem with electrical stuff. So let me start by telling you what I want to do, and the issue I am up against.

I am planning on putting a fuel cell in Smokey, I have all of the rest of the fuel system, just havent pulled the trigger on a cell yet. I want to be able to maintain a fuel level gauge in the dash, so I looked up the factory empty/full ohm ratings on the sender. Here is the info that I found...

Empty 220 Ohms Full 20 Ohms. Both are +- 6 ohms.

Now, thats VERY close to the "aftermarket gauge" style senders, that read

Empty 240 Ohms Full 33 Ohms.


If I can drop 13 Ohms of resistance off of the system somehow, once the cell is installed, then the factory gauge cluster will read correctly.

Can this be done? If so, how?

Thanks for your electrical help guys
