Does anyone what resistance the tank sender needs to be for an acewell dash?

You can choose between 3 on the settings. Can't remember which ones there are but if you look on the acewell page it tells you.

Im sure mines got no choice. Its a basic one. 3150 i think.

I think it can be 4 or 8 from memory, check on their site.

http://www.acewell-meter.co.uk/en_uk/specifications/index.htm

100/250/500 ohm settings (or off)

I asked the same question to russbost on here from who I bought mine.

Hi Ian

It will work with (almost) any fuel sender. Acewell do 1 themselves but it's quite pricey at £39.95. Can order one if you want or if I can give anymore info just ask.

Hi Russ

While your on I bought an Acewell speedo from you some time back. Any recommendations on a suitable fuel sender to suit?

I have that model and you can change it.

I have the instructions somewhere id you get stuck.

David

Instructions would be good if you can find them David. Iv lost mine and cant find them online anymore.

I'd bee interested in the instructions on how to do it as well if anyone can oblige

Call me dim iv just found them on the acewell site. It says fuel resistance is 100 ohm. Nothing about altering it.

Failing that does anyone know what an ldv pilot fuel sender resistance is.

I'm with you Danozeman. My unit is on the car and working ( gsxr pump and sender cant remeber the resistance though.
It does work but falls from full to empty too quickly i.e. not linear with level. I di run out of once so know when it start to flash i have around 50miles grace before I'm in the poop

Iv never ran mine with the acewell gauge. I have a smiths one atm but want to use the acewell as the flashing is annoying.

My Acewell is the one russbost sells. I think it's a 3150 or 3250?

Anyway I've dug out the instructions and although I've set mine up I don't how I deciphered the steps.

It looks like you hold down the mode and reset buttons for 2 seconds to go into setup mode.

Use the mode button to cycle through the different functions.

After your gone through the few of the functions you get to the fuel sender one and I'll quote from the "instructions"

"It dispalys '100r' and fuel tank symbol', follow item 2 (press the reset button) to select 100, 250, 510 Ohm or off and return to the main screen. The fuel meter bar will disspear if you select off mode"

Hope this helps. I gues you could solder a resisor with the sender if you couldn't find a range that works?

Dan, you're welcome to pop over to Debenham if you want a go with the instructions.

Regards

David

Il try that later. Is yours the 3250? That does more stuff than the 3150.

I may well pop over and have a gander if i cant do it thanks mate.

I looked today and mine is a 3250 so maybe different?
