Fuel gauge

[121VDRIVER]

Just wondering if anyone knows about installing a fuel gauge. There is wiring there for one, just dont have a dashboard anymore. I had my car at playday in highland yesterday and noticed it would stumble, almost die in a turn or just out of one. We assumed it was fuel pump wiring and checked everything. Took the car back out and SAME thing. Turns out I was REALLY low on fuel. I know. Sounds stupid, "Fill yer car up before ya race." But I have no way of checking my level. Except shaking the car back and forth and listen for the slosh. Hehe. So any helpful hints would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

how many times you had to add gas this year????? When I ran that car i had two maybe two and a half full tanks of gas to run that car all year...

put a 90 degree elbow fitting near the bottom edge of the fuel cell, and another near the top... point them at each other. put a section of clear hose in between. use quality stuff, and quality workmanship. don't want a leak. and put it where it's well protected.

Oh Yeah...

None yet. I filled it completely full before the first playday and that was that. Didn't think it would be that low already. But you never know. I'll be filling it up sat. Then we'll see.

Thanks man.

Sorry Midget Racer, I don't have a fuel cell in my hornet. But that is an AWESOME IDEA!!!! When I need a cell thats exactly what I'm gonna do. Thanks for the good tip!
