FUEL LEVEL GAUGE
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
this fuel level gauge indicates the depth, not the
amount, of fuel left in the fuel tank. because of the
variety of fuel tank shapes, this universal gauge
cannot compensate for the different rates that the
fuel drops at various tank depths.
IMPORTANT!
This gauge is not designed as a direct replace-
ment for factory gauges. It should be used
only with our fuel level tank sender (SOLD
SEPARATELY).
The sender is not designed as a direct replace-
ment for factory senders. It should be used only
with our fuel level gauges.
INSTALLATION MAY REQUIRE FABRICATION.
See the FUEL LEVEL TANK SENDER INSTRUC-
TIONS included with the sender for adjustment
procedures that are required to complete the
installation.
PRECAUTIONS
1. read instructions before proceeding.
2. observe all safety precautions contained in these
instructions and the instructions for the fuel level
tank sender.
3. drain fuel from the fuel tank into a safe,
vented container and remove the fuel tank
from the vehicle if any modifications to the
tank are necessary. Fill the tank with water
to displace fuel vapors, then drain tank and dry
thoroughly.
4. disconnect the battery ground cable before
performing any electrical work.
5. route all wiring away from linkages, engine parts
that become hot, or moving parts.
6. never smoke while working on your vehicle and
always keep a fire extinguisher nearby. It should
be rated for gas/chemical/electrical fires.
7. never lay tools on top of the battery or wear
jewelry during electrical work to avoid severe
electrical shorts.
8. locate and operate gauges so that driving
visibility is not compromised.
INSTALLATION
Make temporary test connection before permanently
mounting hardware or drilling holes.
this gauge can be mounted into any surface or into
a gauge pod. refer to Figure 1.
1. disconnect ground cable from battery before
electrical work is performed.
2. choose a location to mount the gauge where it
will be viewable from a normal driving position.
3. If you are installing the gauge into a surface (for
example the dashboard) make a 2-1/16” hole for
the gauge. do not accidentally cut any wires or
hoses. be sure there is clearance around the
hole for the gauge mounting bracket.
4. connect the blue and white wires using either
Figure 2a or Figure 2b.
