Fuel guage

Post by xjr1300 » Thu May 17, 2012 2:22 pm

Hi guys. Thanks to the site my fuel guage which went haywire was fixed by following advice on the site. I created a new earth as described in the fact sheets and now it,s back to normal.
Thanks to Bongo Fury.

Hi, Just thought I would add that I have also accomplished the earth thing, with some fiddling. I checked that this would work by using jump leads across the connection from tank to chassis. Thanks Bongo Fury! Dave

I take it from your site name that you have an XJR1300. I also have an XJR1300, mine's in the best colour (yellow). Do you frequent the XJR owners club forum?

likewise I have fixed the fuel guage using the advice on here. I could have bought a kit off e-bay for £14.99 + P & P.

Glad to hear of your cheap fixes. The spiel of the seller on ebay just goes to show his character. Fix has been in the public domain for a long while, so goodness knows how he will patent it, even supposing it could be patented.
