Fuel gauges

[FFMan]

Another great piece of TVR 'character', the non-linear fuel gauge. Drops gradually to half way, then plummets like a stone. Also, depending on which corner you took last its either optimistic or pessimistic.

I was wondering about making a correction box, a driver to take out the non-linear nature and average the readings over say a minute to prevent surge and false readings.

Or am I just toying with taking the fun out of TVR ownership in search of modern-type perfection that was never envisaged ?

All the VW Group cars I've had also do this. Just never let it get below a quarter. Simples.
