How Can I Reduce the Responsiveness of My Fuel Level Gauge?

Comp II LED Fuel Level Gauge
Installing a capacitor between your signal input and ground connections will reduce the responsiveness of your fuel level gauge.

A 5.5V 1.5F capacitor provides good dampening. Use a higher value capacitor for more dampening. i.e. A 5.5V 4F capacitor slows the pointer down so it takes approx 45 seconds to go from 3/4 to 1/2 and back to 3/4.

Install the capacitor as shown in the diagram below. One side of the capacitor should be connected to the signal (S) terminal. The other side of the capacitor should be connected to the ground (G) terminal.

Note: It is important you use the correct capacitance (F) and Voltage rating.

SCX Fuel Level Gauge
The SCX performance gauges are very responsive which can lead to a lot of pointer fluctuation on your fuel level gauge if your fuel tank has a lot of sloshing.

You can dampen the pointer response by adding a capacitor between your signal input and ground wires as shown in the diagram below. A 1.5F 5.5V capacitor gives good dampening. For increased dampening use a capacitor with higher Farad (F) value



Note: It is important you use the correct capacitance (F) and Voltage rating.
