Thank  you  for  choosing  our  products.  We  strongly  advise  you  to  read  this  user  manual 
thoroughly.  It  contains  important  instructions  about  installation,  setup  and  use  of  the 
gauge.  By  obeying  these  instructions,  the  product  will  reward  you  with  long-time 
reliability. 

 

Basic information 

The  FuelGaugePro  -  Float-free  Fuel  Level  Sensor  uses  hydrostatic  pressure  measuring  method  for 
measuring  the  fuel  level  without  any  float  or  movable  parts  in  the  fuel  tank  and  generates 
corresponding signal.  
The FuelGaugePro - Float-free Fuel Level Sensor can be used together with:  

-

 

compatible types of FuelGaugePro displays 

-

 

aftermarket fuel gauges trough FuelGaugePro - Sending Unit that simulates resistance float 

-

 

FuelGaugePro – Low Fuel Level Warning Light 

-

 

microcontroller based system capable to read 12V PWM signal (Arduino etc...) 

 
The Sensor is designed for connection to fuel line via supplied T-plug. After installing, the whole system 
needs to be calibrated (except bike specific kits where the system is factory calibrated).  
 
 

Fuel system requirements 

 
Because  of  its  natural  principle,  it  is 

not  possible

  to  connect  it  to  a  hose,  into  which  the  fuel  is 

pumped by a 

fuel pump 

or where is a

 fast fuel flow 

(fuel systems with return line). 

 
 Sensor works only on these types of fuel systems: 

-

 

without fuel pump 

-

 

with fuel pump  

o

 

pump must be outside the fuel tank  

o

 

no air intake valve on the air input of the tank (there must be an atmospheric pressure 
in the fuel tank - not a vacuum) 

o

 

no fuel return line causing fast fuel flow
