I found this site when I was trying to figure out how to calibrate an electric temp gauge.

It's also applicable to fuel gauges.............


Download his spreadsheet.......

Interesting stuff and timely that may save me a few bucks on my "free" IH truck project.

I'm about to deal with a GM fuel sending unit feeding an International Harvester gage. From what I have read, most all gages between manufacture have different resistances, and sending units also varying resistances as well as high resistance when empty / no resistance when full to no resistance when empty / high resistance when full.

I discovered there are several makes of sending unit to gage black boxes on the market that will mate any gage with any sending unit providing correct readings.

See here for one example.
