Re: [doc] Fuel Tank Senders



Hi Nick,

as I used to work for Saab, I think even if we can match up "the part 
to the car", knowing Saab's prices it will probably be dearer then 
the £79 that I got charged for mine.

I have to say tho, the rheostat and ohms bit went over my head 
slightly....me no understandy!, me just want a fuel tank sender that 
works ;o)  lol

See you all soon,

Claire
