Well, yaesssss... I was tryin to make it so the K1600 & Bandito 1300 riders wouldn't fall asleep...So you're a victim of circomstance?
Years ago I had a mate that owned a mini van he didn't have a fuel gaugeImagine driving your car with the fuel gauge disconnected . Then remove the fuel tank and replace it one that gives a hundred mile or so range.
You now have an auto version of a Commando Roadster.
I think most would get that fuel gauge hooked up again pronto!

I do, regularly. I also have a GPS on my handlebars that keeps track of miles ridden since last fillup. Programmed to warn me at the 100 mile mark.How many riders pop the cap to see how much fuel is left riding down the road…
I work in Product Development Engineering for Ashcroft, Inc. We are currently developing a low pressure transducer for the HVAC industry. Pressure ranges like 0.05 inch of water, full scale, with 1/4% accuracy. The base chip is an AMS PCAP-04, which is under $4 in quantity.I'm still trying to envision the type of pressure transducer that can reliably discern the infantismal head pressure difference linearly, and accurately at a price point.
I'm skeptical.
Digital averaging is simple in firmware.How does it deal with sloshing which must be pretty bad in a bike?

Water is about 1.4 times as heavy as gasoline, so a transducer that could measure 8 inches of gas would be about 6 IWC. A transducer for 10 IWC (inches water column) would suffice.So, what are the pressures with gravity feed gasoline,
16" head full tank, 8" head near empty?
Edit: 8" full, near zero empty, assuming the transducer is at the petcock level
