Thread: LPG gauge

Look here, you'll see a colomn on the right of the box's saying axium sender, I';m tipping that's the appropriate sender to suit the fuel gauge, the clencher is when it mentions that the is no interface for XD E F as these use a capacitive type sender, not resistive

Anywhere that sells tanks and lpg gear can get them for you.

My gauge seems accurate when it is working.
My tank is baffled in a way. It is the manifold tank on the floor in the back of the Disco. Meant to be under the floor in a Falcon wagon.

Get a seperate LPG gauge,at least you know what both tanks have in store at a glance.
And yes VDO do a LPG spec gauge I fitted one in my last Ser3.
If you open the inspection cover on the LPG tank there should be a gauge there if you need to chech a converted gauges accuraccy.

I'll look into that.

I've had that out. Been playing with it with a magnet.

The closest I can find in that APA list is 282-40 ohms.
Since the factory one is 245-19 ohms that is probably close enough. It means it will register full for longer than it should and the empty warning light won't work but it's not bad.
I wonder if I could put a resistor in parallel to drop the range slightly?

Thanks gents. Will be ringing around tomorrow.

Well its only a simple calc away, I;d right the formula if I knew how to make a little 2 appear

Use the superscript notation ^2 for a power of 2 or the subscript notation base-2... 2 easy

Adding components in series and parallel

I'll cheat and link
