revisit the fuel gauge and sending unit issue

OK here I go: I ran the dedicated line from the sending unit to the gauge and then re-grounded the sender and tank. The fuel gauge is now operational. But does not register properly.
Now I need to find a sending unit that is more linear to get it to register properly.
On the existing non-linear meter, I have tried to add resistance, serial and/or parallel into the circuit and it never showed any improvement. But that is before I had a known working gauge. I am thinking ( no, I have not calculated anything yet, this is off the top of my head.)
I am thinking that I could add a 10 ohm resistor serial just before the meter. This will establish the Empty mark and it will not register lower than E. Also add some type of resistor in parallel to the sender that will at the very least prevent it from pinning the meter to the right above F.
And hopefully give some type of readings between the Empty and Full

If I am correct I will let you know. If I am not correct I will not tell you. No sense looking like a damn fool over and over:rofl:
