Hi Karl,
You are right thanks for the quick correction, I missed a decimal place.
Too many digitools over the week end. It will read about 0.1 when fully hot
/ warm.
On my water cooled vans the temp 2 reads about 0.3 volt just as the
temp gauge pointer is fully on the big white mark and ready to begin moving
above it. I mention this because 0.3 volts or less seems to be the required
temp 2 voltage needed before closed loop of the fuel management system is
attained.
