I believe the gauge (90 ohm) works on a zero to 90 ohm range, so if you put a 48 ohm resistor in the circuit the best you could hope for would be a range of 48 ohms to 90 ohms, so the gauge would never function correctly. I'm sure someone with more expert knowledge will be along to confirm or poopoo my statement. | | | | | Joined: Aug 2011 Posts: 23 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Aug 2011 Posts: 23 | Thanks . . I changed the post because what I had been reading was actually 90 ohm sender with a 30 ohm gauge . . . bassackwards.
