Construction & Design

The AutoMeter Phantom Fuel Level Gauge features a robust construction designed to withstand the rigors of automotive use. Its housing is made from durable, high-impact plastic, ensuring longevity and resistance to vibration and temperature fluctuations. The gauge's face is protected by a clear lens that resists scratches and glare, maintaining visibility over time.

The internal air core meter movement is a key component, providing precise readings with minimal needle flutter. The extra dampening incorporated into the design helps combat fuel slosh effects, which can cause inaccurate readings in non-baffled tanks. The gauge's compact size and straightforward wiring harness facilitate easy installation into a variety of dashboard configurations.

Performance & Sound

This fuel gauge is designed primarily for accurate, stable readings rather than producing any sound or performance enhancements. Its focus is on providing reliable fuel level information to help you manage your vehicle's fuel consumption effectively. The multiple resistance configurations ensure compatibility with a wide range of fuel sending units, supporting accurate readings across different vehicle makes and models.

Installation & Fitment

The AutoMeter Phantom Fuel Level Gauge is a bolt-in replacement for standard 2-1/16 inch gauge openings. Installation involves wiring the gauge to the vehicle's fuel sending unit and power supply, with no need for complex modifications. The gauge's wiring harness is designed for easy connection, and detailed instructions are included to guide you through the process.

Because it is an electrical gauge, no additional tuning or calibration is typically required beyond matching the resistance configuration to your vehicle's fuel sender. The gauge is suitable for both professional installations and DIY enthusiasts with basic automotive wiring skills.
