Hey all,
I have a fuel tank with a 24 volt fuel level sender and a 12 Volt system on the vehicle. So the gauge is 12 volt... Is there a way to create pretty precise resistance so that they could be connected up and Id get a pretty accurate fuel level reading?
Cheers

your not looking for the same resistance, your looking for the same voltage. may i ask what you are trying to rig up? because stepping up 12v to 24volts and using it for a fuel sender is kinda dangerous. your dealing with gas and electrical current so things might happen.

Well the bus is a 12 volt system and the sender on the tank is made to link up with a 12 volt system. Came off a 24 volt vehicle...
Dad thought we were looking for some resistance in the line. Im pretty clueless myself...
