I haven't found what I am looking for so far. I am trying to use a 1998 XJ fuel level sender with an Autometer 5716 gauge. The output from the Jeep sender doesn't equal the Autometer's range but it seems like there must be a way to modify it so it is; I haven't been able to think it through.
Jeep sender, from FSM:
With float in up position, resistance
should be 20 ohms (+/- 5%). With float in down
position, resistance should be 270 ohms (+/- 5%)
Autometer Phantom 5716
240 ohms down
33 ohms up
If I had to choose I would rather have empty be the accurate reading of course, but do you see anything that can be done to make it closer?
