Well, I have to agree with Eric on that one: at least to a limited extent. I
have two 6V busses converted to 12 both running 6V gas gauges. Have never had
a problem, yet. Had a 63 SC that I restored back in the early 90s, converted
to 12V and ran a 6V gas gauge and drove it often for about a year till I sold
it. No problems.

My gauge reads correctly, I swear!
