digital fuel/speedometer

[marshmallow15]

if i were to install a digital fuel gauge that reads fuel level from 0-99% and a digital speedometer, would i be able to wire these to the stock gauge cluster to get an accurate reading? or would i have to buy its corresponding senders?

the fuel guage would have the same problem the existing one has. The reason it varies so much is the measurement method on the fuel tank, not the actual guage

Yeah, that would be annoying beacuse the digital guage would be constantly jumping all over the place.

yea the digital speedometer will be hard to ready cause speeds will change constantly, but its illegal drivin around with a busted gauge cluster and i dont want 100 for a new one....so im goin digital. the deal with the digital fuel is that itll tell you your fuel level by percent, not by a needle. for example itll tell you if you have 50% fuel left and etc.

you're still gonna have the same prob that all mx-3's have. At any given time it will go from 50% to 25% when turning.

Not necessarily, it's possible to time weight an electronic gauge. You cannot however improve the accuracy.<P>I thought the fuel gauge was mechanicallly driven though.

yea the sender for the digital fuel is a digital fuel sender that goes into your fuel tank to give good acuracy....if the fuel gauge is mechanically driven, ill need this sender then huh? unless a signal is sent to the oem fuel gauge then i should be set.
