NEW Integrated pump sender combo!

[Tillsy]

I'm chiming in on this with a different view point. This like everything in the past is a band aid for a poor original design. It's time to think outside of the box and replace the complete fuel cell and pump configuration entirely.

Mr Fusion only powered the time circuits and flux capacitor...

If I had that at my disposal I wouldn't be playing with deloreans.

Finally finish my iron man suit.....

Got the new setup installed in my DeLorean a few nights ago. I have to say, it is very quiet. I first filled it up with 5 gallons and let the car idle for a bit. Yesterday, I finally drove to a gas station and filled up. It took roughly 9.3 gallons but the gauge won't go higher than a few hairs above 1/2 tank.

Untangle the static line from the sender float. 😋

That would help.

Is there an easy way to adjust when the fuel light comes on?

I have filled my tank twice since the install. My fill ups have been 12.93 and 12.46 gallons. If the tank is suppose to hold 13.2 gallons, that only leaves about 3-5% fuel in the tank. I would like it to be more in the 10-15% area or at least a gallon left in the tank before the light goes on.

I don't know if the there is an adjustment trim pot or not. Those numbers are cutting it close to the margin. 13.2 is the published number I don't know if includes MAX filling up the filler tube ( which your not supposed to do) But I always do. That's how I know where true FULL really is. BTW I only do that when I'm planning on driving several miles to burn it down before parking. Pump nozzles can range quite a bit if you base fuel level on the first click.

Bend the float arm. Of course this will change the gauge calibration a bit too, but if you want to fool yourself that the tank is emtpy when it isn't, go for it. (Kind of like setting your watch 5 minutes fast IMO, if you know it's fast what's the point?).

I think the point being made is for a better indication of when the tank is LOW on Fuel, not when it is EMPTY. Low on fuel implies a reserve (at least a gallon),
while EMPTY implies the tank is empty or very near empty (much less than a gallon). Given the history of the previous incarnations of the DMC fuel sensor,
when the FUEL light goes on, there could be anywhere from fumes to a few gallons left, so a new "standard" may be deemed suspect until proven consistent.

However, I would also agree that when the needle is on E, the tank should be at or near Empty (not quite the same as a Low Fuel Warning Light).

I got mine low enough for the light to come on today, for the first time since I installed the kit. I really think the tank is just about empty already when the light comes on. I've never run the trip odometer so far before - I normally got gas around 150 miles to be safe, I'm just crossing 310 now.

I did notice (or was it my imagination?) a little sputter/buck feeling just as I was getting home. Wonder if the tank might be a little *too* low. Next stop, gas station.

Overall, so far so good with this kit. Very pleased.
