Hi All,
Well I finally bit the bullet and ordered up a replacement petrol tank for my October 1932 RN box saloon, which despite being an RN actually has the rear tank and dashboard of an RP. THe current tank has a leak which was driving me mad.
The new tank is made in Aluminum so when I am long gone it shouldn't rot for any subsequent owner. The tank comes with a "universal" sender unit. This sender delivers 3 Ohms resistance at empty and 150 ohms resistance at full.
Does anyone have any ideal how this relates to the Smiths petrol gauge on the A7? The gauge was working in the old tank after a fashion. Maybe not accurate but providing some "information."
The car is 6 volt still and negative earth.
Any advise would be greatfully received.
Cheers
Dave
