How can I make 20-200 ohm variable resistor look like a 20-240 ohm resistor?
I have a fuel sender in my kit car that goes from 20R to earth (full) to 200R (empty). Unfortunately the gauge (constant current source, measuring resistance to earth?) expects empty to be 240 ohms, ...

What are some ways to improve a voltage multiplier?
You need to ditch Rd from your first schematic, and use a low impedance push-pull output as in your second schematic. However, as you correctly say, 36v will toast the gates of 20v Vgs FETs. There are ...

How can I make 20-200 ohm variable resistor look like a 20-240 ohm resistor?
