I have been working on a way to pua fuel gauge on my bike, but even though I have several ways of doing it, they all require welding a fitting to the tank. For this reason I have put off the project until I can get a couple of old custom tanks and cut them apart to make a super tank like Blindstitch has



I am going to use a "removable" tube section that is similar to the petcock tube, but bigger. Going to use a hall effect sensor array to monitor a floating magnet. I plan on constructing the tube ( actually a tube inside a sealed tube) in such a way as to dampen any fast actions. Tank fluid may swish and change levels all over the place, but the tube will prevent any fast changes in its level. The beauty of using this method is;



- the electronic sensors are isolated from the gas, no possibility of sparks

- entire unit can screw out incase replacement is needed

- can be made to drive regular gauges and electronic ones (like the custom one Im putting in my custom tach)



I figure its better to do the install in a "second" tank so i can keep my original and still ride, and after for a just in case or new project.

Yea that would be nice. Kind of stuck project wise as im not sure if I should fix the CX first or try to get the GW running so I have something to ride. Im figuring Im looking at about a week min before this strike is over and I get my mech seal. Then I have to do the tripple bypass, service the oil pump (when I change the tack cover to a working one ... yea, may actually get a working tach) and install an electric fan. The GW, have no idea what needs to be done yet as im still charging the battery and working on finishing the shed (just have to put a roof on tomorow and I can start emptying the garage )



Well, if nothing else I did pick up 2 gell pads from Canadian tire for $9.99 each just wish I had a working bike to try them on lol
