Re: 30 ohm sending unit

I did a quick search and found this
https://www.fillingstation.com/artic...ugetesting.htm

They are selling the resistor for 4.50 so it isn't a spendy item to get http://www.parts123.com/parts123/yb....ort~1~cadefefx

This seems to back up the need for the resistor http://www.stovebolt.com/ubbthreads/...&Number=674189

Re: 30 ohm sending unit

thanks alot for quick response so if your using stock gauge and sending unit that match it makes no difference to sending unit if gauge is 6 or 12v correct? so in other words if i change my 6v gauge to a 12v gauge i wouldnt need a resister?
