Fuel Guage Polarity

Post by CharlieGPW » Wed Dec 13, 2017 6:38 am

Hi,

Just sending a SW fuel gauge off to be looked at to see if it can be repaired, I was asked if it was a positive or negative polarity. I know there is quite a bit on gauges so forgive me!

Can someone confirm.

Thanks
Charlie

Does not matter.
The gauge will work either way buy reversing the wires to the power source and the fuel tank sending unit, to match battery polarity.
