keep trying... its a bitch 2 get back on and its TIGHT. i got a hammer and a small piece of wood and gently tapped it around... took about 10mins but its on
replacing the wiring to the fuel pump inside of the tank itself will have nothing to do with the low-level sensor... 2 b honest i could not tell you what the sensor even looks like as ive never pulled it out. i had enuf trouble getting the fuel pump in and out let alone the low-level sensor.
i thought the same thing when i took out the stock pump (WTF r all those wires floating around in my fuel? :S) i decided not 2 fix what didnt seem broken... lol
"Only now do I see you've pulled but wires to the pump" i dont understand :S
hey
your much better off grounding the pump either to the battery directly or close to it. gounding it thru the wiring lume will reduce the voltage that the pump recieves therefore defeating the purpose of this mod.
in the photo above, you can see the 6mm brown and blue wires that feed the fuel pump. i would be checking the other smaller wires in the tank. i assume (never checked them myself) that they are from the low-level sensor. make sure all of ur wiring is correct and secured/soldered properly and check that all the plugs/sockets are locked together firmly.
however upon looking at that image there seems to be a few more wires in the tank (bottom rhc)... any ideas on what they could be?
well i could get hold of a few that would singe ur pubes provided you walked past them in the nude...
but yeh, this idea is not to replace a conventional alarm as such, mearly as a cheaper option for people who do not want to spend hundreds/thousands of dollars on professional alarms... this obviously can be used infront of walkways/doors at night time (or day). just turn it on and go to bed and in the morning turn it off again.
anymore thoughts/suggestions would be appreciated
thanks
a few weeks ago a mate of mine at work told me his parents house got broken into and asked if i could make something (like an alarm) to let you know when someone had entered the property. i said yeh i might be able to and i did some research on the internet and came across this...
Protect your home with lasers -
i did some prototyping and testing and a few weeks later i eventually built this...
this board is slightly different then the 1 produced by kipkay as i desgined it for a 12VDC power supply to operate. it also uses a different transistor to operate a 12V relay (or 12V siren depending on whats required) and has a circuit to power the laser and a few leds to let the user know what is going on. the basic idea is shown in this crappy diagram i just drew
power can be provided by a car battery or a 240VAC/12VDC adapter.
now that i have a working prototype i was wondering if there would be any interest in having these professionally made. thru work i am able to get proper PCB's made (all with proper solder masking/silk screening etc.) only thing is to do it "cost effectively" i'll need more then a 2 people at work who want 1. there seems to be quite a few people on the net (various sites like instructables) who have had trouble making something like this and i would offer these boards as either a DIY kit (people buy the board and parts and assemble the kit themselves) or as 1 complete assembled tested unit. pricing would depend on the quantity of people who would want 1 of these and the more people that wanted them, the less it would cost. eventually if this ever took off sell them on ebay...
so i am asking, is there any interest here for these? would anybody be interested in purchasing 1 when/if i get them built?
thanks
