 I have a 1983 Renken and a 1985 Chris Craft. *Both have the exact same
 name brand instruments on their dashboards. *The only sign of a
 company name or trademark on these instruments is a white "T" on the
 bottom of the instrument faces. *The instruments are black and the
 scales and markings are white and brown/bronze. *There’s two sets of
 numbers on the side of the fuel gauge, 1198777 and 3044 under that. *
 
 Anyone know what company this is so I can look up the specs? *What ohm
 range the fuel gauge operates? *
 
 Does the fuel gauge actually measure a voltage drop or resistance
 (i.e., ohms)?
 
 THE PROBLEM: The Renken fuel gauge does not work. *The resistance
 between ground and the sender of the tank is 15k . *The voltage
 difference between ground and the sender is 10v, and the difference
 between the sender and the ignition hot lead is 3v. *
 
 I replaced the original “T” fuel gauge with a 30-240 ohm teleflex (not
 sure if this is the correct replacement) but the teleflex gauge does
 not work either. *The needle does not move (i.e., reads empty just
 like the old “T” gauge did) and I know the tank has plenty of gas in
 it.
 
 Any help would be appreciated.
 
 Thanks, Scott
