If you have to have the stealership calibrate your fuel gauge, you might pose the question about the oil pressure gauge. They might be able to check to see if it accurate as well.

Nice looking gauges, Patrick. I also like your Eclipse unit. My top choices were that one (5510?) and the Pioneer I ended up going with.

the resistance values of the floats may be different causing incorrect readings.

Thanks for the compliments. The 5510 is great.

I'm going to try topping off the tank tomorrow and pulling the negative terminal to reset and we'll see if that does the trick. If not its off to the stealership.....

Fuel topped up and DME/Cluster reset. We'll see if this fixes things....

It will be great news if this works! Keep us posted.

The fuel gauge is calibrated via the PST as outlined in the factory manual. The oil level gauge isn't calibrated but there is a TSB about changing the sender on newer engines installed in older cars.

I spoke to my dealer today, and their take on the calibration process was that its a real pain in the you know what and that the only adjustment is a +/- 5% adjustment.

This does not sound at all correct to me, so if someone who knows can confirm or disconfirm this I would really appreciate it.
