1974 914 2.0  Group: Members Posts: 180 Joined: 6-June 16 From: Montana Member No.: 20,076 Region Association: Rocky Mountains  |
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 |

I'm fairly sure the sender is linear, but the tank obviously is not. The question is, is the gauge calibrated for the shrinking tank volume, which would be different for the 911 too.
I think the 914 gauge would be more accurate. |
