    Hey, guys, I need help with a sending unit. I have a early set of Studebaker gauges im going to use, they are six volt gaugeas and I need to know what I can use for a sending unit? Is there a universal sending unit out there? I have a Tanks brand stock style tank. Thanks in Advance.

    Have you tried calling TANKS? I don't know of anything, but perhaps they do. I have also heard of some sort of reducer to reduce 12V to 6V, but I don't know if it would work in your case. Can you locate an original sending unit or have yours rebuilt by one of the specialty shops that restores gauges?

    There's no 12 step program for stupid!

    When I installed my tank I used the sender unit that came with the tank.When I installed the gauges they required a different Ohm than the one I had installed originally.I went ahead and installed the gauges ,but the gauge was not accurate,thus I had to pull the tank and put in the right Ohm sender. As for 12 V to 6 V that component is available at most electronics shops.
