Default Float Sensor Resistance Range?
Some fuel gauges are made to work with specific resistance ranges from the float sensor, so can anyone tell me what the full resistance range is for the standard Van's fuel tank float sensors (resistance type, NOT capacitive)?

If memory serves -- and it frequently doesn't -- the range was between 038 and 245, give or take.
