What gas gauge did everyone go to?

[river]

I cant find the post, but is it the dragon 800 from a 2008 that works on the 900 so as to read fuel level?

 

[POLZIN]

Yep ! thats what I use

 

[guidoxpress]

??? never heard of this..details?

Fuel Guage

Yep, he is correct. If your 900 or 755 fuel guage craps out, you can use the fuel guage-cap from a 08 or 09 Dragon.

OH i see...that is very good to know..thank you

Interesting... Is this a common problem? This is the first time I have heard about it

Alot of these gauges were showing low fuel way too soon. My 06 was like this from new. When I had the fuel tank replacement done it was way more accurate. Alot of the problem had to do with the float arm in the tank.

That's good to know.

When I was messing with mine a month ago it was pretty low and after running it for a while it would start to blink low fuel. I siphoned the fuel out to replace with fresh and it still had about a gallon and a half at that point, so I am pretty happy with the way mine reads.

It sounds like yours is good. My original would start blinking low at anything below half a tank. My dealer said poo wasn't doing anything about this. I was going to go mechanical (08 dragon), but then the tank replacement fixed the problem.

The dip-stick fuel cap from a 550 IQ ( a Dragon chassis) may also work. Cheers.

Mine goes down two bars then it goes right to empty and starts flashing who has the best prices for one of these gauges? where to get one?

My fuel guage is working fine but I was wondering if I put the gas cap/guage off of a 08 on my sled will it wreck the electronic guage? Idont think it will hit anything in the tank and wreck it, will it? Thanks!

No you wont have any problem.

I wonder if the problem of breaking the bobber and steel guides off still applies. My old cross country race sleds used to have a few of them tumbling around in the bottom of the tank. Used to get a coupple of races then now gauge,
