I plan to replace it with the Centroid sender this summer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering the fuel tank was made by Funco and all is still stock? The website says not good for fuels over 10% ethanol btw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Centroid sender comes in different Ohm measurements for different gauge application, you'll need to figure out what your fuel gauge measurement is and order that. The hole opening and bolt pattern is a standard size you select when ordering the sender. My car has Autometer gauges with the Autometer sender, so it is 240-33Ohm unit. The Autometer is a universal float sender, I don't like it because the gauge moves with the angle of the car very rapidly. You can't get an accurate fuel reading unless you are on flat ground (the Centroid won't solve that, it'll just slow down the reading reaction time). The Centroid can be ordered with a small bend if you want it to go to the bottom of the tank, or you can leave it straight. Centroid can cut it to length when you order it, or you can cut it when you get it and recalibrate it. I will order a straight one standard length, then bend it so it has a better path to the tank bottom, trim it and re-calibrate it. I even thought about making a pie cut piece of aluminum tube to remove the angle of the sender, so it is straight up and down. Ill mess with that this summer when I get the car back from Next Level Motorsports. Correct on the Ethanol, E10 is the max they can handle. Not an issue for myself as I am on 91. Will be an issue for anyone who wants to run E85. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
