TA-022 Forums Junkie I Supported Toymods Location: Glenmore Park, NSW Registered: March 2004	Re: ra28 fuel Sender and guage problems Mon, 02 May 2005 13:55 aight for those who ever need to know. this info cost $25 and killed a RA28 Fuel sender. the pricol guage works off of resistance. it puts out 6v roughly to the sender and measures the resistance, which is the displayed. RA28 sender (and toyota for that fact) seems to read ZERO ohms at full tank and 100-105ohms at empty tank. this is opposite to what the guage wants. so i butchered the sender open....flipped the resistor / coil and put back together. Now 0ohms is empty and 100-105ohms is full. only 100-105ohms only reads just under 1/2 a tank. And mind you this is manually adjusting level with the sender outside the tank. so the sender doesnt generate enuf resistance to read a TRUE full tank. so im doing tests on senders at the wreckers tomorow after 3pm. qwik test on Sunday showed vn/vr commodore sender reads 30/40ohms to 4/500ohms. At least at this point i know empty is empty and just under half is near full. Better than the E and F playing ping pong with the needle on the guage [Report message to a moderator]
