Magnetic Fuel Gauge

Fuel level indicating system consists of fuel tank sending unit, anti-slosh module and fuel gauge. Anti-slosh module is located on rear of cluster. Sending unit changes resistance according to level of fuel in fuel tank, which varies current flow through gauge. Pointer position varies proportionately to current flow. In this system, sending unit resistance is low when fuel level is low, and resistance is high when fuel level is high. Anti-slosh module is designed to dampen out fluctuating signals from sending unit.
