Fuel Gauge

The Fuel Gage contains internal coils that create magnetic fields when current flows through them. The current through the coils varies depending on the Fuel Gage Sender resistance (see Fuel Level/Resistance Chart). The varying sender resistance causes the current through the coils to fluctuate. The magnetic fields of the coils move the pointer.
