Tiny, you and I are friends. Don't want to injure that. Probably a mis interpretation by us both. As far as I can tell, you tried a Runtz before I posted. You did repeat that statement later on after I posted.
Regarding my statement, I see what you mean. Here is what I said:
"The Runtz or Runtz style or resistor does work".
I was trying to say that voltage reducers work. Any type a person wants to use. I was not saying that you can't get a bad one. The "resistor" method works and has worked for a 100 years. I don't know about the reliability of a Runtz brand. I don't know if the Classic one has good reliability. That's why I asked. But the concept works, that is what I meant. I got confused when we switched from converting a gauge...... to using a reducer so fast. Not upset. Just pointed that out. It was a major shift in the post in my view. Abandoning the convert question and then we concentrated on the Runtz brand and not the concept. Other types of reducers and etc. Whether a Runtz brand reducer is good or not, has been covered before. All manner of DIY and reducers have been covered before.
I was trying to explain that shift; and trying to separate several issues within the post. Not aimed at anyone. I understand you wanted to avoid the reducers because of bad vibes. The best remedy is not converting a gas gauge, it's using a reducer. Unless otherwise specified, I recommend the Classic Parts $6 job. Sorry for any remarks that seemed like disrespect.
