Hi
Has anybody rebuilt the fuel gauge sensor. I have dismantalled the electronics box and found the wire that is wrapped around many times inside is corroded and needs replacement , I assume this block of wire sends the reading back to the fuel gauge .
What type of wire is used and how much is needed ?.Can anybody help?
Many Thanks.

Accoording to the Wiki : CX500 Turbo Fuel System

Needed wire : nicrome resistance wire at about 26 ohms per foot

Closest I could find :

Nichrome resistance heating wire - Nickel Chrome 80/20
0.12 mm / 0.0047" / AWG 36 --- 96.4 Ohm/m ..... 29.4 Ohm/ft
