So, here's one. When I bought the car it it had a 911 instrument dash in the 1974 2.0 914. (Not interested in changing to 914 dash.) Everything looks and works good except...
The 911 fuel gauge doesn't seem to coordinate well with my fuel sender, which is relatively new. I get more miles in the first half (Full to 1/2) than I do in the lower half of the gauge (1/2 to warning light coming on). Is this because the gauge is for a 911 and the sender is for the 914? (I'd also like to know why I run out of gas at about 13.6 gallons. Should be a ~16 gal tank...right? Many thanks. Dan |

Andy, when you fill up, is it just until the pump clicks off? Or do you fill until you can see fuel in the filler neck? Modern gas station pumps don't fill a 914 tank more than about 3/4 full unless you spend a lot of time f***ing with it.
