So here's a question:
I have 5 tanks, two fuel and three water. I want only one guage on my console. So. . . .
- will the tank unit shown work on a water tank as well as it does in a fuel tank and how long before it rusts away?
- Can these units with their low resistance be switched through a rotary switch to provide feeds from 5 different tank units to one console instrument?
I have, as said in my earlier post, been toying with automotive tank units and the ones that I have are predominently plastic. I was hoping that this would be a little corrosion resistant. They are also freely available from wrecking yards for a few dollars.
Any thoughts?
