For something different I built a fuel gauge based of a design by Tony
Krzyzewski. The circuit can be seen at
www.kaon.co.nz/europa/fuelgaugev3.pdf Tony will burn a pair of chips and
post them to you. I seem to recall the charge is $25.00. He can be
contacted at tonyk@kaon.co.nz It is quite simple to make and for those who
don't like working with "Vero board" construction can purchase a Pic Proto3
and PicProto18 from http://www.melabs.com/ These boards make the
construction quite simple.
It measures the weight of the fuel in the tank and displays it on a 10
segment LED display. I compensates for the shape of the tank and deons't
require you to put a hole in the fuel tank, all you need to do is to put the
sensor in the lowest point in the tank.
