How do you reset gas gauges to gallons ...instead of liters... on a 1987 cadillac deville?

On my 1987 Fleetwood, there is a button on the dashboard labeled E/M. Pushing this button changes the readings from English to metric and back. Hopefully there is a similar button on your vehicle.

What is a pressure gauge?
A pressure gauge is an instrument that measures the pressure in a vessel, a line, or whatever the pressure gauge is connected to. Pressure gauges come in at least two different types: differential pressure gauges, and absolute pressure gauges. Differential pressure gauges measure - surprise - DIFFERENCES in pressure. Pressure gauges that read "zero" when not attached to anything would actually be differential gauges that measure the difference between atmospheric pressure and the pressure of whatever they are attached to. Vacuum gauges are differential gauges that measure how far BELOW atmospheric pressure the pressure is in a vessel or pipe. Gauges that measure "gauge pressure" are just differential gauges that are calibrated to measure zero at atmospheric pressure. Absolute pressure gauges would only read "zero" if they were attached to an absolute vacuum. A common type of absolute pressure gauge is a barometer. Strictly speaking, a mercury barometer is really a differential gauge that measures the difference between the vapor pressure of the mercury and the surrounding atmosphere, but the vapor pressure of the mercury is so low that the error in treating it as an absolute pressure gauge is generally negligible. There are many different kinds of gauges used to measure pressure including: Instruments hydrostatic - These measure pressure according the height of a liquid in a column. The height of the liquid is proportional to the pressure. Common types of hydrostatic gauges include: manometers, McLeod gauges, and piston gauges. aneroid - The pressure sensing element may be a Bourdon, a diaphragm, a capsule, or a set of bellows, which will change shape with changes in the pressure of whatever the gauge is attached to. The deflection of the pressure sensing element is read by a linkage connected to a needle or by a secondary transducer. The most common secondary transducers in modern vacuum gauges measure a change in capacitance due to the mechanical deflection. Gauges that rely on a change in capacitance are often referred to as Baratron gauges. Electronic sensors thermal conductivity - including two wire and one wire gauges that measure pressure via changes in the thermal conductivity of the wires as they are placed under strain. Something like this is used in a lot of electronic bathroom scales. ionization gauges - These are primarily used for measurements of low-pressure gasses. They sense pressure indirectly by measuring the electrical ions produced when the gas is bombarded with electrons. Fewer ions will be produced by lower density gases. they have to be calibrated against another type of pressure gauge and depend on the gas being measured.
What are the various sizes of thickness gauges?
There are a number different gauges for different products. For steel sheets, the gauge ranges from 3 to 38. For aluminum, the gauge ranges from 6 zeroes to 40.
What gauge is a 9 ounce co2 tank?
Tanks are not measured in gauges.
What is the example of zero order instrument?
Wire strain gauges are an example for a zero order instrument.
Why pressure gauges are to be calibrated?
then i'll ask a question to: how do you know that the answer is completely true which is shown by the pressure gauge?
Gauges stopped working in 2001 Cadillac deville after jump start?
did you do a car to car jump or a portable jumper box? on cadillacs you shouldn't do car to car jumps do to there's a chance it'll mess up you computer system. vonshay_m2002@yahoo.com

My 98 Cadillac Seville sls's speedometer keeps malfunctioning Can anyone tell me why?
If all the gauges in the clustor are working and only the speedometer is not, I suspect the Vehicle Speed Sensor which is located in the transaxle. Easy to replace and only about $15. http://www.partstrain.com/ShopByDepartment/Speed_Sensor/CADILLAC/SEVILLE/1999
What is the interior difference on a 2005 V6 and V8 Mustang?
the gauges speed reads up to 140 mph in gt instead of 120 mph in v6 redline @ 6000rpm in gt instead of 5500rpm in v6
mechanical dishwashers are required to have?
C. Temperature and Sanitizer Gauges
Why the check gauges goes on and off on a 1997 Chevrolet Tahoe?
Check the gauges. One or more of the gauges must be out of normal range to trip the "check gauges" light.
What does it mean when check gauges light comes on?
The check gauges light means that one of the gauges is out of the safe range.
Does Christopher drew wear gauges?
yes he does wear gauges
Does vic fuentes from pierce the veil have gauges?
nope, no gauges
Why are your gauges going up and down?
Gauges are generally tuned to tension on wires, if they gets tweaked the gauges can easily become faulty.
Why wont the gauges work in a 1981 caprice?
There is a fuse for the gauges, check it.
Does Adam Lambert have gauges?
Yes Adam Lambert does have small gauges.
