Re: How do i add a fuel gauge
To add a gauge, you'll need to cut a hole in the top for the fuel sending unit. Good luck cutting a hole in a metal tank that has gas and vapors in it.
If you live to this part, get a universal gauge and follow the directions for adjusting the sending arm.
There are 2 wires that go to the terminals on the top. The one on the outside is the grounding terminal (-) and the one in the middle is the sending unit terminal (+). Grounding wire is black and the standard for the sending terminal is pink. This goes to the gauge.
Drill a hole in your dash for the gauge. Three terminals on the gauge, depending on brand. These are usually marked. One is power, one a ground wire and the other is the pink wire from the sending unit. If there's a fourth, it's usually a lightbulb.
Get online and find wiring diagrams or go through the directions that you get with the gauge and sending unit.
