Here are the resistors...beefy!  They are 3 watts each.  If you use a smaller wattage resistor they will get hot!!  These will get warm but not hot.  One is 1-ohm and the other 16-ohms.  You wire them in series so you get a total of 17-ohms resistance.  So you can use any combination of resistors you want, just shoot for 17-ohms.  This puts my gas gauge needle right on the first white mark (left side) of the red Reserve section but the needle will go a little past the Full mark when the tank is topped up.  Add more resistance to have the needle move down more but I'm guessing that a total of 20-ohms would be the max to use.
