Key Features

AutoMeter's Fuel Level Gauge is engineered with several advanced features to ensure accurate and dependable performance:

• Multiple Resistance Range Configurations: Available in 0-90 Ohm (matching GM mid 60s to mid 90s fuel senders), 0-30 Ohm (early GM models), 73-10 Ohm (pre-90s Ford and Chrysler), 16-158 Ohm (later Ford models), and 240-33 Ohm (aftermarket senders like AutoMeter 3262), allowing compatibility with a wide range of vehicles and sender types.
• Patented Air Core Meter Movement: Utilizes a dampened air core movement that resists fuel slosh effects, providing stable and accurate readings even in non-baffled or racing fuel tanks.
• Easy Integration: Designed for straightforward installation with existing fuel sender wiring, reducing setup time and complexity.
• Durable Construction: Built with high-quality materials to withstand harsh engine bay conditions, including heat, vibration, and moisture.
• Clear, Readable Display: Features a bright, easy-to-read dial with precise markings for quick fuel level assessment at a glance.
• Versatile Application: Suitable for street, race, and off-road vehicles where reliable fuel monitoring is critical.

Construction & Design

The AutoMeter Fuel Level Gauge features a rugged, high-quality housing designed to endure the demanding conditions of automotive environments. Its air core meter movement is a patented technology that provides dampening to minimize the effects of fuel slosh, ensuring consistent readings regardless of vehicle motion or tank orientation. The gauge's face is designed for maximum visibility, with high-contrast markings and a bright pointer for easy reading in all lighting conditions.

The internal circuitry and components are carefully engineered to match various resistance ranges, making this gauge highly adaptable. Its compact, lightweight design allows for flexible installation options, whether in a custom dash or OEM location.

Performance & Sound

While primarily a visual instrument, the AutoMeter Fuel Level Gauge offers reliable and accurate readings that support your driving confidence. Its dampened movement ensures stable display even during aggressive driving or sharp turns, preventing false readings caused by fuel slosh. This stability helps you make informed decisions about fuel management, especially during extended drives or racing events.

Installation & Fitment

The AutoMeter Fuel Level Gauge is designed for easy bolt-on installation. It connects directly to your vehicle's existing fuel sender wiring, with no need for complex modifications or additional tuning. The gauge can be mounted in a standard 2-1/16" (52mm) gauge pod or custom panel, fitting seamlessly into most dashboard setups. No cutting, drilling, or special tuning is required, making it suitable for both novice and experienced installers.
