Das Green Machina - September 11th, 2013 at 11:29 AM

G'day

I have recently changed my fuel tank and now the fuel gauge wont work properly is there anywhere in Sydney I can get it fixed ? Does it need to be reset? Recalibrated? Any advice?

Cheers

Frank

when I did this Frank, Mine didn't work either..
the tank was insulated from the body..
I added a wire from under a screw on the fuel sender to the body with a small self tapper screw, or You can put it under a screw that is already there.. it just needs to be grounded..

Airco at Marrickville are VDO dealers mate, I took my speedo there when It was being dicky 5 years after I bought it and sorted it out for free.
