[AT] How to test a fuel gauge/Sender??--Rickey

[DAVIESW739 at aol.com]

Phil,
 I also have spent a lifetime of working on all kinds of vehicles and  I have 
never in 40 years of this ever found a gauge that would not take  full 
battery voltage. If your right then I would be afraid to turn on the  key because if 
the sending unit is at 0 resistance then blooey.  By the way  almost all 
sending units go from 0 to Max resistance.  You may call  yourself an expert but 
your writing on the subject tell something different,  sorry but that's just 
the way it sounds. By the way its not voltage that will  burn the gauge out but 
amperage. You can 1 million volts though a tiny wire if  you have very little 
amperage. 
By the way do you know what the definition of 1 volt is.
