Update on my conversion to float sensor.
The fuel gauge is a bit optimistic when the tank is between 1/1 to 3/4 level and the range calculator is also more hopeful than
the actual range. At 1/2 everything is correct but when I approach the 1/4 level the gauge is a bit pessimistic and shows only one bar a bit early, the estimated range then decreases in the same way. The warning light came on when I was only 4km from a gas station and I was then able to fill the bike up with 26.75 l of petrol, which should mean that I had about 6 l left, the range calculator then considered that I had 90 km before the fuel ran out.
I am very happy with how this conversion works and feel the fuel gauge is accurate enough for my needs.
Thanks for all the tips I got in this thread, I wouldn't have solved this without good information.
