Description
(1) fuel gauge
"a" 6-way black connector
Make: INERGY
The fuel gauge is located on the fuel gauge module in the fuel tank
Role
The fuel gauge is for determining the level of fuel in the tank
Function
(2) fuel gauge module
"b" float at the maximum level
"c" float at the minimum level
Depending on the level of fuel in the tank, the position of the float changes and causes the electrical resistance value of the fuel gauge to vary
The electrical resistance value of the fuel gauge provides the information on the level of fuel present in the tank
Electrical features
"H" depth of fuel in the tank (mm)
"R" resistance (ohms)
| depth of fuel below the float | minimum tolerance | resistance | maximum tolerance |
|---|---|---|---|
| 181,7 mm | 48 ohms | 50 ohms | 52 ohms |
| 147,8 mm | 93,5 ohms | 101 ohms | 108,5 ohms |
| 86,5 mm | 194,6 ohms | 202,8 ohms | 211 ohms |
| 32,8 mm | 290 ohms | 299 ohms | 308 ohms |
| 5,2 mm | 345 ohms | 350 ohms | 355 ohms |
The resistance value reduces when the depth of fuel in the tank increases
The resistance value increases when the depth of fuel in the tank reduces
