Fuel gauge in Sandrail

[JM PRO]

On my current project, we are throwing around the idea of installing a fuel gauge in the car. Tank will be customer built and will be a rectangle shape, roughly 20 gallons and 8" deep. What's the consensus, is it worth putting a gas gauge in the car or is it a waste of time and something you don't really use?

 

[Ripster]

I wouldn't have another car without it one, to many times I've ran out of fuel with a 20-gallon tank.

 

[HydroPower]

If you are building a tank I would add one for sure! My last car had one and I loved it, new car doesnt and I wish it did

 

[lincster]

I use my gauge all the time.
We will drive for over 1 hour and at 27 gallons, I am close to running out.
For sure add a gauge.

Have a gauge in mine. But I always fill it up after every ride. 23 gallon tank. No foam.

Definely add a gauge. If you are using Holley stuff(dash) you can add the Laser gauge

FOR SURE - @J Alper put one in my car and I LOVE IT !!!!! I was also the guy who has the " TURN THE GAS ON DUMMY " sticker on my motorcycle tank !!!!!

 

[RIDERED]

Put one in.

 

[BRANDON LONG]

My new car has one and I really like it but if you have a tank with an easily accessible cap to view it's not the end of the world not to have one.

I have a sight gauge in my car but would prefer a fuel gauge on the dash.

Once you've had one it's hard to go back. Do it. You won't regret it.

Can you elaborate on that ? My new to me car is getting the Holley ECU and dash.

Uses an SAE standard 5-bolt pattern. If you don't have one, you'll need to add one:

It uses LIDAR
Its sort of easy to set up not sure about wiring cause my buddy did that part. When the video says push P2 P3 buttons it means push both at the same time. That took me a week to figure out lol

It can also work with an ohm style gauge like most sand cars already have. Its pretty easy to setup and wire directly into the holley screen
