hi all, i need some help, i have a koso dash to fit to my car, but the fuel gauge ohm setting's are 100ohm's or 500ohm's, but i have a standard sierra fuel sender and the reading about 20ohms full and around 260/270ohms empty, so what can i do?

can i ad reistors insuch away, it will work or do i need a need sender unit to match the ohms reading of teh dash?

if resistor what size?
if new sender does anybody know of one i can fit?

thanks

personally i would fit a new sender, one that is caibrated to match the dash, it will save a lot of hassle

Could you not just bend the sender arm through 180 deg
Then see if your dash works

Hi,

I fitted a sender from a black bird and works fine with the Koso gauges

Hope this helps

Cheers

I fitted mine in to the top of my MK tank. Bit of bending of the float is needed but works fine.
