Toying with the idea of a digital dash in my saff so I can link it to my ecu. But it will mean fitting an aftermarket fuel gauge. Anyone done this before. Anyone no the ohms range of the standard sender?

I used the stack dash and they can read most senders and comes with fitting instructions and a tech help line. I used after market sender though but didn't need to spec anything specific.

Im not too keen on the stack one I know it's an excellent bit of kit I just like the aim or race technology ones with the large display better. Plus I can plug it into my autronic ecu and see all the data it see's it's just silly things like warning lights and the fuel gauge I have to mess about with. So I don't really want to be fitting an after market fuel sender to my standard tank

Forget about the race tech one nothing but a pain to get working, Use a AIM its a great bit of kit,
Rod will prob have the details on the sensor as I have done a couple of dash's on Escorts,
You test max sweap of sensor for min and max then you fit to car wire up and start filling the tank 5lt at a time and make not of the reading on the dash in dia mode then fill and add data to dash when filling complete then it works.

out of interest mark what makes the race tech one a pain. I have been looking at the aim one so may buy it

Try and get it to work, I think they may have changed them now but you will spend days trying to make the old one work with the Ecu.
The Aim takes minutes to do the same set up and is a great bit of kit.

No, i had a pro alloy tank and VDO sender.

Id take Ł80 with next day delivery.

It was used for 167 miles in my 3dr...

I use 8 stack gauges one of which is the stack fuel gauge it works well. Ive forgotten all the details of getting these things to work though .

all the operating instructions are on the net Rod, on stacks website.
i also have a 2bar boost gauge, but will probably keep that.

thats pretty much all i have left from the 3dr..

Surely either via a pullup resistor or a little wiring changes, you can use the OEM sender with the dash ?

im using an autometer one
easy enough to set up

Trying to find this out from aim via there technical department is not as easy as it sounds lol. Fingers crossed you can but if not a stack one will have to be used
