    The component I am sending out is rated at .5 amp. This should
    be over kill for this application. The pinout is somthing
    that you need to check. Install it as shown, and keep an eye
    on the gauge the first time you turn it on. If you don't have
    movement of the fuel gauge rightaway. Check your installation.
    Also be aware that the case on this component is not insulated.
    I would insulate it to insure there isn't a problem, at
    the heat sink.
