bluenose Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Hi all, I'm just wondering if its possible to fit a fuel gauge to a bike that doesn't have, I seen some for sale on e-bay but didn't know that you could do that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiggie Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 I'm sure I will be corrected by someone who knows better but my understanding is that its theoretically possible but not worth the expense & effort.Stick to your trip counter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
megawatt Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 I doubt it ! It would have to go in the filler cap or where the fuel tap screws in and be intrinsically safe!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joeman Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 someone should invent a fuel flow meter that connects on the fuel line from the tank and measures the rate of flow.you could then reset the counter when you fill up, and it could count down the number of litres of fuel used, or if you program in your tanks capacity it could tell you how much you have left...Dragons Den anyone??EDIT:Looks like someone beat me to it:http://www.possi.de/spritmesser/spritmesser.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eastanglianbiker Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 just top tank right up set trip meter to zero when it goes onto reserve note mileage on trip meter and then in future use trip meter as the gauge thats all iver do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
