The petrol tank on my car isn't linear - in fact its triangular shaped, which means the smiths fuel gauge is meaningless. So I made a simple digital fuel gauge that is calibrated to the exact amount of fuel in the tank.
Easy and cheap to make - handy if you just want to know more accurately what's in your tank.

The link to the fuel filter you mention....
It looks incredibly small. Is it up to the job as a pre-filter for the pump ??
I know the Aeromotive and SX filters are about the same size as the Bosch pump itself..
The last place you want a restricition, is before the pump. It could cause cavitation, which will shorten pump life.
Im using a VDO tube style sender in my tank. Works pretty good with the Ford guage in my car ( I specified resistances at the time ). Although for some reason when installed, wont read properly abouve half a tank. If I remove it, it reads correctly throughout its travel...weird.

Well I ordered a this one http://www.bsr-aerotek.com/store/produc ... ts_id=3727 but the one in the photo turned up which is just a simple flat mesh filter, the mesh is similar to the one that you can see inside the pump inlet.stevieturbo wrote:It looks incredibly small.

Is it up to the job? - who knows.
