Afternoon all.

Apologies if this is in the wrong section, but it is fuel related, and sort of ECU related.

I've been looking around for a suitable fuel tank level sender for my car, and I think I have settled on a unit from a Landrover series 2a/3. It looks like it is ideal for fitting into my tank. However, I was hoping that somebody may be able to confirm the method of mounting such a unit (tank cutout size/shape, and how it is held in place).

Secondly, I am intending to make an interface to give a display of the fuel level (on a LCD or maybe as a LED bargraph). Does anyone happen to know what sort of resistance values the landrover unit should have when full/empty?

Finally (and here is the ECU link!) is it possible to damage any components of a fuel injected engine by having the tank run dry? I am wondeirng if linking the fuel tank level sender to the ecu to cut the engine is of any benefit? I'll more than likely not bother with this, but I am interested on a technical level to see if it could be done.

Cheers folks.

IIRC it's a round hole about 2 1/2" diam held down with six screws.

Not sure of the resistance, but it can't be too far removed from my 90,
I can measure it tomorrow if you want.

The fuel pumps DO NOT like running dry, I've replaced a couple over the years for that reason.
