datzenmike Posted August 6, 2021 Report Share Posted August 6, 2021 80 or more is empty 10 or less is full 2 Quote Link to comment
Socalman Posted August 6, 2021 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2021 Thanks Mike, so a gauge that has this spec is backwards to function with the 521 sending unit? Range:73 Ω Empty / 10 Ω Full (NON-LINEAR) 1 Quote Link to comment
Socalman Posted August 6, 2021 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2021 Scratch that, looks like it should work. I read it wrong. Thanks again! 1 Quote Link to comment

datzenmike Posted August 9, 2021 Report Share Posted August 9, 2021 This is based on the 620 and 720 senders. I had a 720 long bed tank (13 Canadian gallons) and the sender worked just fine on a 620 dash gauge. I imagine that it's very expensive to get something that is basically a fuse/timer for a bomb certified as safe to use in a vehicle. Once you get one you use the same design in every vehicle. Like a tire valve, no need to re-invent the wheel for every application. The 720 FSM says 80 or more or 10 or less is respectively empty and full. The lower the resistance the more current that flows, the higher the gauge reads. 2 Quote Link to comment
