Damp fuel guage needle.

#1 PostAuthor: warren3200gt » Thu Dec 01, 2022 6:35 pm

As I've got no projects to build I am finding work for idle hands. The fuel guage on the J is ultra responsive, so much so that unless your stopped on a flat surface the guage is almost useless.
Just because it niggles me, I am looking to damp the signal sent to the guage so it reads an average over the past 30 secs or so.
I'm thinking a capacitor of suitable size in parallel to the tank sender unit should do it but is that too simple and how big a capacitor?
The tank sender seems to work on a variable 100 ohm (empty) to a 5 ohm (full) resistance range.
