Gas Cap Gauge

I think it a great idea,after some usage you will know how much you have left and have a gauge to go by. When it reads empty,fill it up,then you will know what is left from that point by how much it takes to fill the tank.
 
I added one of these to my 02 sportsman 500 years ago, never really worked very well. I just dont think these tanks are made for them.
I didn't know they had Sportsman's back in the 1500's:p
Every snowmobile I've had when I was younger,used this style gauge,they are better then nothing,including a low warning light.(like my motorcycle has):mad: It would be fine if you ride all the time and know what's left in the tank,but when it sits for awhile,you have know idea whats left. I end up going to the gas station to fill it up,just to be safe.
 
My 04 Prairie has a fuel gauge in the instrument cluster.
 
Yes you can,but most likely the entire harness,sensors and CDI will need to be changed.
 
It would be much easier just to put a $9 cap on.
Exactly,even my gauge does not tell me when I'm "really" empty,I still have some left over and have an idea how far I can go.
