• 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.

  $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.
