Default Re: Fuel gauge intermittent

The power and current values associated with the sender units are too high to to use a small variable resistor to calibrate the unit. Power dissipation can be as high as 1.2 W and .3A respectively at "full tank". Similarly a carbon resistor will likely be too big as well.
