[Chrysler300] Notes from another venue re: Chrysler fuel sending/measuring system

[JettLarry@xxxxxxx]

Street Rodder magazine gives the following report  concerning fuel gauge 
correctness.  It seems to answer several questions I  have about the situation in 
my 66 300.  Will check it out soon. May an  expert critique  the following for 
aptness of thought?  Remove  sender wire from the back of the fuel gauge and 
attach the red wire from an  ohmmeter to it.  Attach the other wire from the 
ohmmeter to  ground.  If the tank is empty, 73 ohms will show on the gauge, 
provided all  systems are GO as factory supplied.  If it is full, it will show 10 
ohms  (believe the text said -10 ohms but surely you can't have minus 10 
ohms, can  you?)  Thus, if you know approximately how much fuel is in the tank, 
you  will find some ohm-ness indicated between these two extremes that should be 
 appropriate for the percentage of fullness or (emptyness if you are a  
pessimist)  
 
On another page......many of us have twisted off the flared fittings on  
brake, fuel, or transmission lines trying to remove them from  brake  
cylinder,carb/pump/tank/ or trans/radiator because they were stuck with years of  gunk 
holding them together and the line just gave up first and twisted closed or  
broken.  Their remedy?  Clamp on the tubing clamp from your flaring  kit (that 
aluminum thing that you clamp in the vise to make new flarings) so the  pipe can 
not turn as you apply pressure to the fittings with your special C  shaped 
wrenches that don't ruin fittings by slipping and destroying their  shape.  
Pretty smart sez I
