Gas gauge not working? I think I fixed it.

KitCarlson said

I can make a circuit with a 50 cent micro-controller and a few other components that will enable calibration of the empty and full. It works by separating the sender measurement, from driving the gauge. There will be a special calibration procedure performed at empty and full. It will correct for off specification senders and gauges, if they function in a monotonic manner.

If more than a few have interest, I will start a separate thread, develop the schematic, parts list and simple software for the system. I do not have interest in selling units, but I can see helping someone get setup up.

No offense intended, but talk is cheap. No one has ever gotten as far as I have fixing this problem. If you can do this, then why haven't you done it long ago. There has been a bunch of threads dealing with this problem.
Why have you waited until someone else found a solution to claim you can fix it.
My fix cost $1.15 for the regulator and a few feet of scrap wire I have here and some solder.
The one great thing about these cars is there are in NO COMPUTERS.
My fix is cheap and requires no computer or software.

So far I do not know if this will calibrate properly to full. It very well can. but I did not make a claim until I can prove it. When I finish with the calibration for empty, I will fill it up and then I will tell what it does.
All anyone wants, that I have heard is, to know when the gas tank is close to empty. So they do not have to drive around with a gas can in the trunk. My modification does just that.
Maybe a little offense was intended, but I tried to hold it down
