Fuel gauge voltage regulator

Post by **sventhrusta** » 21 Feb 2007, 11:20

The gauge on my bus behaves erratically depending on what revs i'm doing-sitting still will show 1/4 but as the bus gains revs/momentum it drops alarmingly to the otherside of the red

sometimes-then back again as I back of the throttle-is there some sort of regulator that could be causing this-is it in the instrument pod?Can i get a replacement.Ta Sven

Thanks for that-but what am I looking for-how do I spot the beast?

The fuel gauge stabiliser is behind the clocks, it looks like a spiky transistor with a self tapper holding it the housing and connected to the electrical ribbon. The fluctuating fuel gauge is one of the T25 idiosyncrasies.

Thanks-found it now-will try a new one see if it makes a difference.
