<VV> Fuel tank sending unit issue

[charles mckinley]

I'll second that. I've been through three sending units, all supposedly 
stock, and none of them read the same for corresponding tank levels. The 
first two had nominally 40-ohm resistance for full tank, the last one is 
90-ohms.  As the gas gauge is basically nothing more than an ohm-meter, 
you need to get used to whatever it says, especially near empty! Mine 
now reads about 1/8 full when there's 2.5 gallons in it. That's good 
enough for me.
