Is there finally an accurate fuel sending unit?

[themechanic]

It's 2025, so, why can't we land on the moon or make an accurate fuel sending unit? They did it in the 60s, for corn sake.

Best thing to do is ask that question in the comments section of the video. Pretty crappy they didn't mention it in the video or in the description.

I think it's a cliff hanger to get us to watch the video where he tests the "accurate" sending unit.

Could be. I always try to put part numbers in my videos and sometimes where I bought it.

Gotta get more "likes" and "hit the subscribe button"

I have a TanksInc tank and sender as well. The sender is very accurate. The only issue I have with it is that the level will fluctuate a little when full. Tank is baffled, but doesn't eliminate all of the sloshing.

I put a Tanks Inc (Spectra) tank and sender in my 66 Dart and it was fairly accurate. The way the new senders are designed compared to the old ones, they usually get to full before the tank is and it takes some driving before the gauge starts going down. (Not a problem with me) As long as the float is close to the bottom when the gas is about gone, all is good. If your gauge reads empty or a bit less and you can drive 30 mines before running out, all the better. If I was that **** about fuel gauge accuracy, I would have the original sender rebuilt or look for a NOS one. That's not me though.

Take a look at this. No wonder why the aftermarket senders aren't very accurate.

Thanks for the comparison. Assuming that is a 60s Mopar part, seems like a very easy part to replicate.

I bought from Technoversions

TechnoVersions - MeterMatch for Analog Gauge Correction

I just ordered one. I almost ran out of gas. I tried adding another resistor in parallel but it kept the gauge at full. I just want the darn thing to work. Thanks for posting.

According to some poeple, you're being too **** wanting your fuel gauge to read accurately.

Wow, you just summed me up in 40 words or less! Lol. Yes, I want the darn thing to work as it should.

I got an aftermarket sending unit, adjusted it and bent the arm so the arm touched the tank floor when reaching the end of its travel.

I has a kind of curve to it on the gauge, moving more quickly from full and slowing down towards empty.
Works great for me cos then I know that when getting close to empty I still can make it to the gas station.
