79 series fuel gauge

[rmb3218]

Does anyone know of a fuel gauge to suit a original 79 series fuel sender. The full resistance is 12-18 ohms, empty is 405-415 ohms. I have not been able to find one that works with these values.

I have a 79 series 2011 single cab that came with one 90l tank. I have fitted a genuine Toyota 90l tank to the rear & connected it up to the existing wiring looms. The dash gauge has only one fuel gauge & I have used a relay to switch the gauge between tanks. This works, but for some reason the gauge takes 5 minutes to switch between tanks.

I would like to be able to read both tanks fuel level.

Thanks, Kevin

Get a cluster with both indicators?

Get a cluster with both indicators?

I have looked into this, not as easy as it seems, apparently a new cluster would have to setup by Toyota to “talk” to the other ECU.

I have revised this to discuss all clusters series to help with Tach identification. Later versions have ABS and/or Diff lock lights and other idiot lights on dash but main elements all work. The instrument clusters (aka combination meters) are solid state boards that are difficult to add or...

I got mine from toyotadxb.com. Mine worked right out of box. I had vdj and "basic" versions.

I assume you need a vdj version. Ebay.com.au was the place I bought a used vdj cluster w twin tanks to play with.
