41/53dodges Posted January 8, 2014 Report Share Posted January 8, 2014 (edited) So I've been busy doing a little work on my fuel gauge setup, I repaired the original and made some special mods. Most people just add a resistor to the fuel gauge to make it work on 12v, that wasnt enough for me! Instead, I installed a 5v regulator found in any electronics store, it makes for a much more accurate gauge and the ability to easily use it on 12 or 6 volt without any modifications! Now heres some new tech for you, a company called WEMA makes these sensors, we have em for prototype stuff. It just uses a series of resistors and reed switches. Not particularly accurate but darn near indestructable and neat! Edited January 9, 2014 by 41/53dodges Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
55 Fargo Posted January 11, 2014 Report Share Posted January 11, 2014 Very interesting. The 7805 is what I plan to use on my fuel gauge and water temp gauge too, my system is 12 volts.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
