fuel level sensor and fuel gauge is same

No,fuel gauge works with the fuel level sensor.Its not the same.The fuel gauge can not be equipped with sensors at random, because the fuel tank position and sensor structure of different models are different, and can not be mixed. When replacing, the original vehicle should be installed to ensure that there is no problem.The structure of the fuel tank level sensor is different for different models. Secondly, the principle of the liquid level sensor is also different, and there are some differences in the resistance and the instrument can not match. Therefore, it must not be mixed.

The matching between the fuel level sensor and the resistance value of the instrument is inappropriate. The first several reasons can be eliminated through simple test and maintenance. The matching between the fuel level sensor and the resistance value of the instrument is more complex. Once the matching design is improper, it will bring difficulties to the maintenance.The fuel level sensor in the fuel tank works together with the fuel float to convert the liquid level into an electrical signal and feed it back to the instrument. Through the system logic relationship, the instrument can assist in displaying the remaining fuel, fuel consumption per hundred kilometers, instantaneous fuel consumption, and range wind signals, meeting the requirements of accuracy and timeliness.

The indication of the fuel gauge almost depends on the fuel level sensor. Therefore, the pointer of the fuel gauge is just a visual representation of the fuel level sensor.Generally, the fuel level sensor is stained and needs to be cleaned in time. Because there are many impurities in the gasoline, and the fuel level sensor has been immersed in it for a long time, it will be polluted, which directly affects the accuracy of the indication. If the vehicle has been used for more than 5 years and the indication of the fuel gauge is inaccurate, it is likely that the fuel level sensor is physically worn and cannot continue to work normally. At this time, it needs to be replaced. However, if the entire fuel pump assembly needs to be replaced, the price of the 4S shop will be several times higher than that of an ordinary repair shop.
