This is what it looks like. It has been inspected and it is still servicable just needs cleaning up and painting.
Yes, I know it's ancient and could do with replacing but so is the owner and funds are limited.
Has anyone in PF land got any idea of how the gauge works? Is it a float mechanism? Looks like
it could be. I can see there is a cord going down into the tank and the spring is extended. There's not a lot
of oil in it at the moment so that would make sense. As you add fuel the float rises the spring would reduce
in length.
Of course there should be a dial and pointer in front of it.
Can I just buy a new dial? Can it be replaced in its entirety?
Any advise links references, pics
appreciated.
Thanks
