I have a 20 gallon fuel cell coming and it has a blank for a fuel level sender. Most typically I see 0 - 90 ohm, but I have no idea what BMW uses. It doesn't have to be dead on, but if I could get it to be close to show my fuel gauge correctly that'd be nice!

Any ideas?

aw man, 3 ohms empty, 89 ohm full... that matches the GM 90 ohm units that fit the cell. PERFECT!

I dont think the numbers are important as long as the values change gradually without any "spikes"

The numbers absolutely are important, but it turns out the GM units are the same. Hot
