Fuel Level Sensor design
Thanks Warpspeed, The reality of a practical solution is always far from the orginal concept. After spending the last 8 years of doing R&D, I have seen projects fail after weeks, even months of development... I have put some special clauses in the contract which make special not of the final...- CarlFST60L

Fuel Level Sensor design
Thanks for your input. The design is basically going to be an opamp to allow for all the diffrent electrical signals possible. That will feed an ADC on a processor. I will write software to do both timed and analogue signals. The cars will be calibrated by running empty, then adding 1L at a...- CarlFST60L

Fuel Level Sensor design
It may be mass produced if it catches on, its not just a one off either, atleast 250units will be made for various vehicles... This is the problem, now that i think you can see what im doing, i want to know if there is a standard the GM/Ford etc use, like, are they usually resistance, voltage...- CarlFST60L

Fuel Level Sensor design
Yes but standing still? Yes Only on a test track? Why does it matter? A level flat surface? Yes Can you modify the tank? No Does the tank have a drain plug? Stock car from the factory Will the tank always contain at least 8-10 liters? no Can the trunk be modified? no Can you pull the tanks? its...- CarlFST60L

Fuel Level Sensor design
Hi guys, I need to come up with an easy way to measure the fuel in a set of vehicle for telementry that is accurate to around 1L. I dont know enough about how these cars actually mesure the fuel level, i believe most use a float and resistor wheel of some sort? Most cars, i believe, do have...- CarlFST60L
