With Digital Instrument Cluster

DESCRIPTION
As the amount of fuel in the fuel tank decreases, resistance of the Fuel Gauge Sender decreases. Resistance will be approximately 170 ohms with a full tank and 10 ohms with an empty tank. The twelve segment bar graph Fuel Level Gauge responds to the change in resistance by increasing or decreasing the number of segments that light up. A shorted or open Sender will cause the top two and bottom two bars to light up, and the legend and ISO indicator will be off.
