One of the last things to do my Chimaera (early car with white gauges and flashing!!! low level light) prior to it going back to my sisters and most likely not being used for a while (I really don't know why she does not gripe about it as I have been driving it around for 2 weeks and does my head in!) is to damp the fuel gauge/sender, has it already been done, or have I got to design/make something.

Ask Chris at Spiyda to add his anti-slosh board to the Fuel Gauge Wizard circuitry, and for the most complete job also ask him for the low fuel warning too.

Snip off his LED and splice the Wizard's low fuel wiring into your existing low fuel warning bulb in the TVR gauge.

You can then trim your original TVR low fuel warning light from the potentiometer inside your Fuel Gauge Wizard unit, this way you can precisely set the point when the light comes on (say 1 gallon of fuel left).

The anti-slosh board will also solve a blinking low fuel level warning light when you're cornering on a low tank.

The Fuel Gauge Wizard is a brilliant bit of kit wink
