Re: [Chrysler300] 1955 Fuel Tank Sending Unit

Actually Rich, the Chrysler T&C has that. At least  our '05 Stow-n-go 
does. Due to the tank configuration, the gas goes right down into the 
tank,  very little neck. When the  pump clicks off, it is FULL. Any 
add'l click of the pump will overflow pretty quick. The 'puter in the 
overhead shows how many miles to empty based on recent average milage. 
I will note that on a long distance run last year, the dash gauge 
showed empty and the readout was showing 0 miles to empty for about 20+ 
miles until we got to the next station. On that run we got over 26 MPG, 
which was a little more than normal, so that's why we got that extra 
distance. It does seem to be very accurate, even the MPG it shows.
  I wouldn't want to try that again, with the onboard hi speed jaw in 
the passenger seat!
If she had to have gone for gas................... She wouldn't have 
brought me back a six-pack since she was at the station anyway!

  Rocket scientists might tackle these issues some day. I'd like to see a

gauge at
  that time and a gauge system that indicated gallons remaining in the

  anywhere near 1/4 Full and I regularly drive until the gauge drops 
below
  Empty. In my mind this reduces the time spent/wasted at gas stations. 
Once

  manufacturer's stated capacity.
