We only have "some data" to get a feel of what's going on. Each piece of data suggests more.Do we have a list of the voltage on each gauge at various different fuel levels?
KNOW:
Resistance of gas tank sensor and it's direction (full vs empty)
Digital Gauge: Uses a 5V supply and likely measures current.
No point of being ratiometric.
Could just be a 5V supply and a resistor
Suspect no variation with battery voltage.
I think we have open circuit voltage (OCV) and not short-circuit-current (SSC)
OEM Gauge
Something different is going on.
Might be dependent on power supply voltage (ratiometric)
Replacement gauges and possibly OEM gauges
Do have linearizations built in.
