Twin cam fuel gauge sender

[Bendy toy]

10 to 180 ohm is a common variable range for fuel gauges, pressure gauges etc. I'm looking at wiring a standard 10 to 180 ohm fuel level sender unit to a suitable dash instrument. The issue is actually fitting a generic float sender unit to a tank (and fuel pump) intended for the fuel strip.

Does anyone know the output range of the twin cam float type fuel level sender? If I'm lucky it will be 10 to 180 ohm but who knows what BMW actually used.

Can anyone help?

It's the fuel strip ones that need a fix not the float type.
Mines a june 2010 and has a strip, some other, probably later 2010 bikes have reverted to the float type.

I'm looking at wiring a standard 10 to 180 ohm fuel level sender unit to a suitable dash instrument.

To be even more crystal, I want to fit an entirely separate fuel gauge with a float type sender unit. I will not be wasting time or money on the fuel strip system.

Im using a 35mm dia gauge (not too bulky) that reads 0 to 100 via a 10 to 180 ohm input. A generic level sender unit by VDO will do the job but its likely to be a pain to fit.

The Twin Cam float sender unit will fit neatly but I need to know if it uses the 10 to 180 ohm output. Otherwise its back to VDO.
