I have a 12-volt system on my '41 Chevy. I am keeping the old gauges. I have put in a reducer to go to 6 volts. How many volts and ohms go to the gas gauge? Do I need to go through the new fuse panel? Or could I just put in an "in-line" fuse? (It was suggested that I bypass the solenoid and go directly to the battery.) Thanks, :confused: 
Dan.

See comments on your other posting. The sending unit and your dash unit are designed to operate with 6 volts. The nominal resistance from the sending unit is approximately 30 ohms. It is always a wise idea to fuse every appliance/accessory on the vehicle. If you have a fuse panel that is great, however an inline fuse holder is satisfactory.
