<VV> Feelin some resistance!

 Negative resistance, get real! <G>

Anyway, the gas gage is a two coil current meter. Alas, you can't separate the coils. One is 12v all the time, the other is controlled by the sending unit. As such, it makes the gas gage insensitive to system voltage. The way you get 'negative resistance' is to pull the needle off the shaft and reposition it!

The gas  gauge is an ohmmeter, I can never remember which is the high 
resistance, F or  E. You just need to get the right value resistor to put in 
series with the  sender to pull?both readings down. That's the "easy"  fix.


Of course, you might need that "Hard-to-find" negative resistor. When  you 
add it to the circuit it lessens the resistance. It is in the same catalog  
with the reverse wheel spacers!
