quote:That is cool. There must have been something in the air this past week. I was talking to my aunt about this very topic. I remember her constantly switching back and forth between the two tanks to keep them even. We talked about the fact that she would try to note the difference in the weight side to side. Then play with the gas tanks. She mentioned that one of her cars had a complex setup to try out. It gave the driver the ability to transfer from tank to tank. She said she left it on once and gas poured from the side filler cap.
She noted that the car would not sell without the clock so the one gauge was the only option. Funny she said they could never get Vega to make the clock look closer to the other gushes. "Always looked off and no better with the digital"
I've looked for a second gauge for some time, it had to be exactly like the one I had already. I actually bought the second gauge from rscorse in February. The green is not as faded as the other gauges in my Longchamp for natural reasons, so I had this unused gauge in my house window on the sunny side to try to fade it a bit before installing, so this has been a long time project :-)
I now have the clock, which I'll install later in the center console, may have to move the radio a bit to get it to look not cramped, which involves cutting and welding, so had no time today. I think it looks pretty close to the others gauges in font etc, as opposed to many other clocks I've seen. And strangely, it works!
About the weight, I always empty the left tank first, so my own weight cancels out the right tank. BTW, often wondered why the Pantera tank wasn't on the right, for weight balance.
