Technical Fuel Gauge Conundrum

[Bleeding Knuckles]

Greeting All,
Can any of the Forum Members ID the gauge in the pic's please. At the moment it functions as a fuel gauge in my car!!!! The tank has some 15 Ltrs in it and the second pic shows the level indicated. I have recently checked the low fuel light and it operates at just over 5 Ltrs with the needle showing just under zero!!
Thanks.

Ian.

It looks like they've used a spare oil pressure gauge.

Odd.

It is an oil pressure gauge but you'd wonder why as the Abarth instrument binnacle that you have fitted usually incorporates both a fuel gauge and an oil pressure gauge. Besides, genuine Veglia or Jaeger fuel gauges are available and cheap.

Hi Chris, Yes odd indeed. My binnacle contains a oil pressure and temperature gauges odd again? I will probably find a suitable 'fuel' Jaeger gauge and replace what is there.

I guess oil pressure and oil temperature are the most important sensors.

It's always amused me that the two gauges in direct view in most Italian cars are the tachometer and the oil pressure gauge.

Hi!


I take the liberty in borrowing your thread as i am in the progress of installing an electric fuel gauge in my old 500.
Simply cant get this right.
No wiring diagram came with unit and no support from seller.


Has anyone done this and be of any assistance to me ?
