Fuel Gauge
 

Is it easy to install a fuel gauge on a golf cart? Whole bunch of wires connected to the gas tank but my cart does not have a fuel gauge. Who does it and how much would it cost?
It is 2016 Yamaha FI type..

Cheers!

This may be a cheap option.

The typical electric fuel gauge requires a hole to be cut into the fuel tank, and a couple of wires, ground, power supply, and connection to the fuel gauge. The fuel gauge typically requires about a 2 inch hole in the dash.
There are 2 types of fuel level sensors, vertical and lever, I opted for a vertical as i was not sure of clearances for the lever type.
I checked with 1 or 2 golf cart stores and the cost was around $150 to $200.

It looks like I can check the fuel level without opening the cap even though I have to open the seat which I don't mind. But I can not find it on Amazon. Where can I buy one and is it adjustable to various models of the golf cart?

Cheers!

My 2014 FI Yamaha has a bunch of electronics and wires running from the fuel tank. I am thinking it might already have everything there except the dash gauge thing. Is that something I can do easily? Pls see the pic and advise.

Yours looks the same as mine, from what I have been able to research, unless you got a PTV version the wiring does not support the yamaha fuel gauge option. If found the wiring diagram for mine, and the necessary connector was missing! I installed my own, send me a PM if you would like to discuss further over the phone, I do not publish contact info on open forums.

What you see is the wiring for the electric fuel pump. On my 2012 village gold cart the fuel gauge sending unit is separate from the fuel pump cap you see. It requires hole drilled, separate unit, wiring to dash, and gauge

Here what mine looks like.


Factory IPB without sending unit.

The villages golf cart shop at Brownwood. I bought one a month ago there. $16.05

the villages did mine, cost $120.00

Have heard the gas gauges are not that reliable which is why don’t they did not put it in my 2020 Yamaha golf cart. I just open the seat and look at the one in the tank.

Looks like that maybe the fuel pump.

I thought our golf cart was about Mt, so I went to the station and it only held 1.1 gals. Lol
