How big is gas tank?
Just wondering....

Thanks, in advance

yeah... but its just an electrical wire right?
so as long as its not broken (or partially broken) it should still work the same... right?
electrical wire are not like fuel lines, where if you kink it, it reduces flow... right?
My gas gauge moves... & when I am down about 1.2 gallons it reads E - but when I fill it up it reads between 3/4 & F - depending on the day....
on a related note... I like how full is "1" on the Stella gauge
full was 4/4 on my fiat

As long as you didn't actually cut the wire, or damage the insulation severely enough to allow the conductor to touch grounded metal, any pinching will not affect the electrical performance of the gauge. So sayeth this retired electrical engineer.ScootLemont wrote:yeah... but its just an electrical wire right?

Is it just an electrical wire running to the fuel sensor, (not quite sure what you guys are talking about)ScootLemont wrote:yeah... but its just an electrical wire right?

If so… pinching a wire won't really hurt as long as the wire inside the plastic sheath isn't broken or severely compromised.
The bigger problem is that if it's pinched somewhere, the original friction from tightening the bolt, (or over time friction/vibration) can wear through the sheath and ground it out, that happens especially somewhere where the wire or other parts move around regularly (headset, etc). Worse, such a short can be intermittent and hard to diagnose.
Unless it was a ground wire, then you're just doing it a favor.'

Right, but if it stops looking, that'd be the first place i'd check. : )
