Disable Fuel Gauge?
does anyone know of a way to disable the fuel gauge in the fuel tank so that the car thinks the tank is empty?

i really don't remember what was so 'difficult' about it, but i remember thinking the same thing as i was trying to put in my V1. then finally something just clicked in my head and it made total sense-- keep staring at it lol

what i meant about the card was that there is the "map" and then there is a list of icons and numbers (thats the confusing part). The numbers are on the map. However, if you remove the fuses listed next the fuel tank icon, all it did was kill the fuel pump and the gauge on the dash worked fine. Good luck trying to find the fuse for the dash board.
