FUEL 
GAUGE 
AND
TEMPE
RATURE 
GAUGE
Description
The 
fuel
gauge 
consists
of 
a 
tank 
unit
located 
in 
the
fuel 
tank
and 
fuel 
meter 
The 
tank 
unit
detects 
fuel 
level
with 
its
float 
converts 
fuel 
level 
variation 
to
a 
resistance
of 
slide 
resistor
installed 
on 
the 
float 
base
and 
thus
controls 
current
flowing 
to 
the 
fuel 
meter
The
temperature
gauge 
consists 
of
a 
thermorneter 
and
thermal 
transmitter 
located 
in
the
engine 
block 
The
thermal 
transmitter 
is
equipped 
with 
a 
thermistor 
element
which 
converts
cooling 
water
temperature 
variation 
to 
a
resistance 
and 
thus 
the 
thermal 
transmitter 
controls
current
flowing 
to 
the 
thermometer
The 
fuel 
rneter 
and 
thermometer 
are
provided 
with
bimetal 
a 
and
heater 
coil 
When 
the
ignition 
switch 
is
set 
to 
ON
current 
flows 
to 
the 
heat
coil 
and 
the 
heat
coil 
is
heated 
With
this 
heat 
the 
bimetal 
arm 
is
bent 
and
thus 
the
pointer 
connected 
to
the 
bimetal
ann 
is
operated
The 
characteristics 
ot 
both
meters 
are 
same
A
tolerance
may 
occur 
on 
the
thermometer 
or
fuel
gauge 
due 
to
source
voltage 
fluctuation 
The
voltage
regulator 
is 
used 
to
supply 
a 
constant
voltage 
so 
that 
the
therrnorneter 
and 
fuel
gauge
operate 
correctly 
The
voltage 
regulator 
is 
built 
in 
the 
thermometer
The
operating 
part 
of 
the
regulator 
consists
of 
a
bimetal 
arm 
and 
a 
heater 
coil 
When 
the
ignition 
switch 
is
turned 
on 
the 
birnetal 
arm 
is 
heated 
and 
bent
by 
the 
coil
opening 
the
contact
Consequently 
current 
to 
the
coil 
is
interrupted 
As 
the 
bimetal
cools 
the
contact 
closes 
The
repetition 
of 
this
operation
produces 
a
pulsating 
voltage
of 
8V 
which 
is
applied 
to
the
ternperature 
and 
fuel
gauges
If
both 
thermometer 
and
fuel 
meters
become 
defective
at 
the
same 
time
this
may 
be 
attributable 
to 
trouble 
in
the
voltage 
regulator
