Another gauge corrector--cheaper than MeterMatch, 33.00
Got my sending unit mapped.
I ended up pumping the tank dry using the fuel line and hooking to it at the front of the car. I did this to make sure whatever "zero" was, it matched only what the pick up could grab. Then I bought a 1 gallon gas can and filled it to the line each time and attempted to get it empty each time. In the end I think it was closer to .9792 gallons each time, but I do know they were close enough to a consistent amount that it really doesn't matter. And it turned into a bit of a fiasco as the last gallon I tried to put in ended up with a fairly large fuel spill under the car. Best guess is the slow rate I was filling it at allowed the vent to push gas out, but it could be I just have a hole in my tank, too.
Here are the numbers I got.
0 - 70.3
1 - 67.7
2 - 62.4
3 - 58.5
4 - 55.6
5 - 51.1./52.5
6 - 47.1
7 - 42.3
8 - 38.7/38.9
9 - 33.8
10 - 29.4/29.8
11 - 24.9/25
12 - 43/36
13 - 17.7/16.6
14 - 15.9/15.8
15 - 15.3/14.5
15.5 - 14.8
Here is a graph of those number:
Note that I had some odd readings at the 12th increment mark, no idea why. Hope it doesn't upset anything later and it was just a temporary glitch.
I then smoothed the curve and divided the graph from the 2 gallon mark to the 15.5 gallon mark. This was the range I used for empty to full. This should give me a 2 gallon buffer when I hit empty.
This is what that graph looked like:
The points on that graph ended up as follows:
E - 62.7
1/4 - 50.4
1/2 - 35.1
3/4 - 20.9
F - 14.8
So those are the numbers I am going to use to set my fuel bridge. Now to figure out how to do that.
