sender guage for go go juice
I have been given a Ford Transit DIESEL sender guage. Is there any reason why this cannot be used with petrol? If it is OK then do I assume that the
red/white cable goes to the guage and the black to earth? This is a brand new guage and my tank has been fabricated to suit its dimensions so I would
like to use it if poss...
shit happens! (but why always to me!!)

No, I'm sure you are right, but I can't see the difference in specific gravities of petrol and diesel causing more than say a couple of millimetres
of float height difference. IMO of course

I am sure you will all be pleased to know that a transit diesel sender unit works fine with a standard vdo fuel guage! Thanks for your replies, now
hopefully I won't run out of juice again!!
BTW - red/white to guage, black to chassis !!
