Instead I have an aluminum "stick" with 1/2 gallon increments marked on it. I usually run 3 to 7 gallons as ballast depending on track conditions. -Tom.

I use the stock sending unit but modifying it for the height of the tank(extending the float arm) that way it works with the stock gauge unit on the dash... in yours make sure it isnt touching the tank where its binding so it cant make the full travel... also check your ground

Photobucket sucks

I am running a 4 gallon cell with my injection (which needs a front cell... weight). And that is getting on the small side for round-robin racing with no help to get the fuel jug back to the staging lanes. 1993 Daytona, 5.50 at 130mph (1/8) 1.19 sixty ft (PG).

Yeah, especially when we park at the finish line at MIR and don't feel like schleping the fuel jug to the staging lanes... 2012 422 Allstars NSS Champion 2013 422 Allstars NSS Champion 2014 422 Allstars NSS Champion
