Ford dual tank silliness

[ArdWrknTrk]

So, therapeutic?  🤔

Yeah, I like looming things too.
My dad taught me lacing way, waaaaay back.
I used to make up all the avionics and deployment harnii at my rocket club.....

I wouldn't say therapeutic, but it's something I can be artistic with. If you can see "art" in a bunch of wires. 🤣

[ArdWrknTrk]

It's a Zen thing for me.
I get into the moment, and it just happens...

I was on the board of my rocket club for well over a decade, and Range Safety Officer...
It was a fun, if incredibly expensive, hobby.

Harness is complete, at least until it gets into the truck.






I hope it's long enough

I think it'll be long enough, Bradley.  

Looks good!  

[Ifitaintbroke]

Thanks. I'll try to do a full write up on it in a dedicated thread, for anyone wanting to permanently fix this system. (Assuming it works). Senders are pretty accurate at the bottom end. Rear checked at 74 ohms, and front at 73.9. I should have measured the top end, but I forgot until they were already in the tanks. This setup SHOULD be bulletproof.

 the Metermatch allows your senders to talk to the display!

[Ifitaintbroke]

Yep! I think this will work perfectly, and be FAR more accurate than the factory setup. The way I'll do it, the reading on the gauge will correspond to an exact gallon amount in the tank. I did have to get a second meter match, as the tank are different sizes and shapes, therefore, the reading for 1/2, for example, will be a different place on each sender. I'm getting the new fuel lines tomorrow. I would have got them today, but the total balance of my 2 cards combined is $2.08. I've been going pretty much paycheck to paycheck, and this has been a pretty good expense. But tomorrow I get paid.  Jim, I can't thank you enough for helping me out with this!

[Gary Lewis]

I went with a single MeterMatch, and even though the tanks are of completely different shapes the gauge is pretty accurate.  They come off full within 15 miles, hit 1/2 @ about 125 - 130 miles, and have a couple of gallons left when they are fully on E.

But individual MeterMatches would be great 'cause you could really tune them.  

[ArdWrknTrk]

I'm not sure why you need both tanks to read in absolute gallons rather than just full-medium-empty, but I know enough not to ask questions...

I'm always glad if I can help someone else!  
My problem is that I care for others and not a bit about myself.  

[Ifitaintbroke]

Off to get the fuel lines! I'll have to order the manual valve(s).

[Ifitaintbroke]

Had to order. Will be in tomorrow. Also, I'm going to try to find a 10 gang relay box, for this project, and my switch panel thing "dropping from the ceiling", as Jeff would say.
