Hi Henk.
Well done for making a solution to the fuel strip problems.
Well done for making a solution to the fuel strip problems.
I have put in 35,5 litres in the past on a few occasions when I haven't run out of fuel, must have been on vapours.Last time I ran out of fuel (a few weeks ago) with the GSA I managed to put 35 liters in the tank (should be around 33).
2 blobs over the arrow with 20 liters to fill as you say seems consistent with a GSA tank capacity.
The bike reads the 'un-heated' resistance of the strip and records that as 'tank full', then heats the strip and records the higher heated resistance as 'tank empty'.
The fuel strip removed from the bike showed 36ohm on the heater circuit but open circuit on the sensing strip. That's dry - tank empty.
Bendy, do you think any savvy DIY enthusiast could mimic Henk Poskam's converter and install it with float?
Henk has ceased trading now sadly.
It seemed to have worked for other members on here.
Wish I'd ordered one sooner!!

@AlexG - Do you think the fuel strip resistance readings you took are a linear scale? I imagine they pretty much are.
To get either my 4Ω to 180Ω or a 0Ω to 100Ω float to work with the ECU we would need a converter box such as an Arduino I/O processor. Now to find how to program it.
To be honest I have no idea, but like you I assume they are.
Given the size of Henk's converter I assume there is some way of using standard electrical components without the need for any sort of clever processing?
It would be nice to have the full range input and output values from Henk's device.
I'll try to do something at some stage, though it will not be any time soon.
