Meter Match
#1
Got tired of having a fuel gauge that never read right even though sender and VR was replaced.    Tanks Inc makes a product called Meter Match that adjusts for variations in fuel sending units and older fuel gauges in the dash, or even if you have a custom tank.  It installs inline with your existing sender unit circuit,  I mounted mine in the trunk as that was easiest to access the sending unit line, and had to run a switched 18ga 12V line back to it.  Tried to tap off the electric fuel pump but the ECU shuts off the pump at the relay once it reaches the preset PSI in the ECU so no gauge unless pump is running.  

Read the instructions thoroughly before you attempt to calibrate it.  (PM me for more info).  Especially the end, as it addresses older Mopars and Fords because of the VR in the dash.  If you run into an issue, do not hesitate to call them.  Ask for Chris,  He will walk you thru calibrating it as each make/model car is different.  I did mine with a full tank and calibrated that way. Siphoned out about 9-10 galllons, gauge dropped to below half, which is about right for a 19gal tank.  Added 5 gallons back (had to dump the other in my truck as I didn't have another empty 5 gallon can), and gauge moved to 3/4 full, which is about right.  


Best part...  Made in America..  and they give you a screwdriver to take it apart and make the adjustment with.  

Thanks to Andy for pointing it out to me..  I've been on their site dozens of times (I used their drop in EFI pump and weld in recess on my tank, as well as few other things and never saw it).

Great info -

BTW - the fuel gauges in both of mine are accurate.
If a man speaks while in his garage and his wife does not hear it, is he still wrong?

It's not just for fuel gauges, you can use it for any electrical gauge that is mis-matched with the sender. Only ones it won't work with are 6V and ones that are controlled via a computer
