The only thing weird about my setup is that I have a bay gas tank, and a 12 volt bay sending unit.

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.*/Eric Woodall <eric@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>/* wrote: I have a 6V gauge running on a 12Volt system. My gauge reads correctly, I swear!
