    I am trying to get a sending unit for my truck. My guage requires a 0 Ohm on empty and 90 ohm on full sending unit. I went to Orielys today to grab one. The 0-90 Ohm one wire sending unit is 90 freakin bucks! The 0-95 ohm is only 20 bucks. One, I can't even begin to justify the price difference. My next question....would it hurt to run 95 Ohm instead of 90? Would it just read full a little off? I don't think that the float will adjust all the way anyway in the tank that I have, so is it going to matter? Anyone know of any problems I may encounter doing so? My main concern, obviously, is to make sure that the EMPTY side reads correctly, lol. Thanks for any help fellas.
