joa_taste Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 Hello guys. I don't think i've ever properly introduced myself on here but I decided to leave the classic supra/sc300 for a 74 260z i found for cheap on craigslist. I have had the car for a month or two and decided to do a sr20det swap. Since like most of our cars my fuel tank was rusted, busted, and i couldn't trust it..lol so i bought a fuel cell from summit racing. I didn't want to cut my whole spare tire well so i just cut the very least so the cell can fit snug. Here's my problem, for those of you that have a fuel cell. How did you wire up your fuel gauge? Thanks in advance Joa_Taste Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clutchdust Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 Hey Joa, can't help you off the top of my head. But since you're local, maybe we can get together some time and do some wrenching. PM me if you're interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nullbound Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 I used a cell that included a sending unit, along with an aftermarket gauge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seattlejester Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 Summit racing has em, I think it's a 20$ more expensive option. Mine came with an aftermarket fuel sender as well. They have a few ranges, but from what I can tell none of them are close enough to work with the factory gauge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joa_taste Posted October 22, 2011 Author Share Posted October 22, 2011 (edited) Oh damn that sucks, I seen what i've over looked... it's all good i guess ill just have to guess what i have in the tank lol Edited October 22, 2011 by joa_taste Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Does anyone know what the stock sending unit ohms out at? we should be able to use a drop down ohms resitor. I am going to start looking into this because I want to keep my stock gauge in my car. I had to go to a fuel cell when I did my ford 9" conversion.

johnc Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 You can put a sending unit from Summit into that cell. I would also buy a fuel gauge from Summit that works with the sending unit you buy. But, far more important: build a metal cover over that fuel cell that seals it from the passenger compartment. One zoned out old lady rear ending you at a stoplight and you'll get sprayed with fuel. You might survive the impact only to burn to death - which takes a couple minutes and really hurts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
