rcborst Shop Shark R Joined: Apr 2011 Posts: 85 Iowa	I have a 1952 Chevy 3100 with a non-working gas gauge. An article I’ve read says to run a jumper wire from the ignition to the gauge. I have a 6 volt system; if the original wire going to the gauge is still hot and I run a jumper wire, will it double the voltage & burn out my gauge? Thanks.
