Default Ohmage at Fuek Tank Sensor, full and empty?

Anyone know what value it is at full and what at empty for a Mk.3 FRST?

Want to get a gauge to replace my fuel level indicator and need to know the above. An example of one Ford sensor is 70 empty and 10 full.

Any knowledgeable peeps advice would be gratefully received.

Ta

Most realistic way is to measure it as there are several types fitted to Fords.

I've not got the car at the mo, which is why I asked (I presume all Fiesta Mk.3's have the same tank size and thus the same sender).....though

how would I measure it? i.e what equipment? Is there an ohmeter or can you use an ammeter? Not a diddly myself.

Thanks

Most late Fords (1987+) use

Full 16 ohms
Empty 148 ohms

You measure it with a multimeter gague set on Ohms
