I cant seem to find a couple other links I had....I know theirs a company out there that makes a meter for our send/return system

JC Whitney used to carry a cheap one, but I can't find it now. That site only had a too basic description with no mention of fuel return sensors.

Here's an expensive source ( $790)

It looks like all the cheap ones today use the OBDII connector, we don't have as we don't do computers for our injection.

arb, what are you smoking?

$800 for a fuel gauge is nothing man. I've got my fuel gauge resistor GOLD coated... awww yeeeeaaahhh IT may be in the tank but i know it's there

Edit: I mean platinum coated.. wait ... i don't know how to add up to 800 USD for a simple volume/resistance gauge

wayy to much for a gauge.

The new opal Diesel's come with one from the factory. It displays MPG when moving, and gallons per hour at idle.

I thought it would be cool.
