Wiring the ground side would probably be less rewiring for me. What would I hook up to 30, 85, 86, and 87 if I did the ground side?

Should be just like I posted, 30 & 85 are power, switched by your Key.
87 is power out, when the relay closes, to your low fuel light bulb, with the other side of the bulb grounded.
86 will travel to ground, through the thermistor in your fuel tank, so it will supply the ground when the fuel is low, to Latch the relay. This will turn the light on, when the Thermistor loses contact the relay will open, turning off the low fuel light.

I think I misunderstood something you wrote in the previous post. I thought you meant I could wire it using the ground from the LED to the relay somehow. Like, Would it work to change 87 to the ground from the LED, and 30 to a frame/battery ground? Or would that cause a short/blown fuse?

That's right you can change those two, as that is where the Switch contacts of the relay are. If you do that, then your Bulb will have to have power, maybe that's how it is now since that's how it was, and this switch 30-87 will be ground.

Ok cool. I am going to run by radio shack or autozone tomorrow to pick up a relay. I will try it out with the ground running through 30/87 and see how that works once I get the tank back on with fuel in it...and staying in it...LOL!

Did you look at doing the transistor set up?

Does looking at the pics and thinking "what the heck is that?", then scrolling down to see how much there is to read before you give up count as looking at it? LOL

Ok..I was bored, so I actually read it...kinda understand it...but think the relay method will be much easier for me. :)

Ok so I was bored too that's why I am posting, at least the projects around here are interesting. ;)
Stupid Snow is back again today, so I'm gonna be in the garage/ house all day. After 24 years in Alaska, I pretty much Hate Snow! :sick:

I didn't mean any offense by that...it just seems the transistor setup and how it works is slightly over my head. And I agree...snow stinks! We haven't had any here yet, but I'm sure we will get a few inches before the winter is over.

I'm a little disappointed. The tracking info told me the gasket material was expected to be here today, but it hasn't been delivered yet. Hopefully it will come tomorrow with enough time to spare to get that shape cut out, and put it on. I won't put gas in until Saturday so I can go for a ride (as long as the gas stays in the tank this time! LOL!

The buna n gasket material came in today, right before I had to go to work. As soon as I got home, I cut out a piece and cut it to size, and added to holes for the bolts and the petcock. I am a little excited, and very nervous about adding gas back into the tank at this point. I will be pushing it out into the driveway (so as not to stink up the garage again) tomorrow and putting gas back in it. I don't care what the weather is like, I will be riding my bike tomorrow if the gas actually stays in the tank! Keep your fingers crossed for me! :woohoo:
