Anyone have any luck with a factory (porsche) dank, URO ?
There is a big difference in price ? I know they are a simple unit. Have had a new one and they still do not read very good ? |

Mine reads about 3/4 full on a full tank of gas. I can get it to read 4/4 IF I fill the expansion tank too, which is not a great idea.
3/4 full it is. But my car will get to 1/4 full and stay there for close to 100 miles before the gauge reads lower. I just fill the tank whenever I go anywhere and treat the gas gauge as an educated guess. Zach |

QUOTE(VaccaRabite @ Oct 30 2024, 10:03 AM)  Mine reads about 3/4 full on a full tank of gas. I can get it to read 4/4 IF I fill the expansion tank too, which is not a great idea. 3/4 full it is. But my car will get to 1/4 full and stay there for close to 100 miles before the gauge reads lower. I just fill the tank whenever I go anywhere and treat the gas gauge as an educated guess. Zach When I made my triple gauge, I pulled the needle and put it back wrong. Out of gas when it said a quarter full. Fortunately the light still came on. Tried it again and went a bit too much in the wrong direction. I will get it right sooner or later. I have often wondered about putting a little potentiometer in line with gauges to set the baselines. Never tried it. |
