Review on 📊 Actron SP0F000048 Bosch Style Line 2-inch Electrical Fuel Level Gauge - White Dial Face with Chrome Bezel by Patrick Stowers

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Rating for buyers, not like Bosch.

I bought this along with a Bosch fuel level sensor (Bosch SP0F000013 fuel level sensor) as recommended as they should be compatible with each other. Reviews. I have found that like others who have purchased this gauge it only reads 3/4 full when the gauge is at its highest point which tells the gauge the tank is full. Before installing the transmitter, I decided to try it out on a workbench with new wiring just to make sure there weren't any issues with bad grounds, breaks, or other wiring issues. What I found was that it didn't register fully with this sensor. I plugged in my multimeter to check the ohms and found it was about 240 - 241 which would mean open and 31 - 33 on the other end. Spectrum, which shows full. And so we have a gauge that only moves between empty and 3/4. Knowing this, I also bought an Auto Meter and wired it up like Bosch did, and the Auto Meter registered from empty to full as intended. So, while other reviewers have pointed out that they were told they had a wiring issue, there was no issue with my wiring. I made a video where you can see how I connect both meters to both using the same wiring. sensors and results. At this point I can open the Bosch since it didn't cost a lot of money and just look inside to see what's going on. I have a video if I can figure out how to upload it.
