Fuel Guage adjustment 110 CSW 1985

<< < (2/3) > >>

Range Rover Blues:
Just to add my 2 penneth.  Knowing how guages work there is a chance it won't adjust the way you want it to.  You will have to bend the lower stop on the float travel and even then it may be resing on the bottom of the tank anyway.

If you remove the guage then, depending on what type, you may find it's adjustable.  A hot-wire type guage (laso called bi-metallic) has a heating elemnt wrapped around a bimetallic strip.  Because of how these work they have to be adjustable, I know FORD ones are easliy adjusted with a screwdriver, a bit like adjusting point as I remember :-k

Other than that a small resister in the fuel sender wiring would also bring the guage down.

Remeber that most of these adjustamnets will effect how the guage reads when full, obvioulsy not a huge problem.

Guardian.:
