    Search "Automobile Instrument Repair, or "Automobile Gauge Repair" on your search engine.. I found a whole bunch, but I can't seem to get the URLs to attach correctly. If this post turns out wierd, that's why.

    Basically, though, a resistor is inserted in the hot wire to drop the voltage from twelve to six volts at the gauge. For the fuel gauge, you can either get a new sending unit, most likely a universal type and replace the one in the tank, or send the one you have along with the gauges to be rebuilt to whatever specs you want. Whoever you get to do the work, ask them what they recommend.
