found a better diagram, seems to vary from your own info above but as long as it works for your situation that's all that matters

No, factory fuel tank with an AiM Pista MXL dash display, requires converting from ohms to a 0 - 5 Volt signal in order to display the level in actual gallon capacity remaining detail as described below:

Empty tank, set zero point, add 1 gallon and set point this, add 2nd gallon and so on until full. No more generic dummy gauge.

I didn't even know tracks did Powercruise type events in the US. Have only seen them in OZ. Sounds like fun.

Anyways I have some footage! would anyone like to seeee? problem is I have slow internet for uploads..............

Glad you had fun, otherwise it could easily tell us any number of things the complete opposite of what you are concluding.
