Fuel Light
Robert Ryan - 21/2/07 at 11:18 PM

I am using the original R1 clocks and have bought a MNR fuel tank and sender. When I connected the wires, the clock low fuel light stays on. Do I need a resistor or something fitting.
Please keep it simple
cheers Rob

Yep, a 470 ohm resistor worked for me.
Take the fuel line feed in to the clocks and ground it to earth through the resistor.

where can I buy the resistor from.
Does it have to be a special type of resistor.

Maplin have shops all over the country and also do mail order, but the 2p cost of a resistor will be swamped by the postage.

In the olden days, a TV repair shop would sell you one. I don't suppose there are such places today.
