    K-line is theoretically possible, it's a one wire 12v bus which is relatively trivial to write to from TTL voltages but I don't have a clue what...

    The fuel gauge is resistance driven, you can either use a digital pot or PWM through a transistor. See this circuit and code here...

    J1850 is very different to CAN, although I suppose in theory its the same, get a chip that 'talks' it, connect to a processor of some kind.
