I have no suggestions as to how to get the units out. The last time
I tried that I dropped stuff into the tank <g>.
However, for the ohms question, I would go to Radio Shack and get a
variable potentiometer that goes from zero to about 250 ohms. Put it
between the gauge and ground. Then determine which positions on the
potentiometer correspond to a full tank and an empty tank on the
gauge. Then measure the resistance at those positions with a
multimeter. That is your answer.
Best,
Steve
