So I went and bought the ford volt a drop and it doesn’t work, do not waste your cash, it is not constant and sends out pulses which gives a reading but the needle will read and then fall to empty sporadically, I had a electronic genius look at it and he thinks the $3 fix is the way to go, once I have it made and installed I will give everyone a update.

I had North Hollywood Speedo rebuild / convert my fuel gauge to 12v. I think one of the POs blew it up when the car was converted to 12v.
