Fuel Gauge/Sender
Bush Tucker Man:
Another thought..................
Which way round is the supply to the sender & gauge?
Is it earthed at the sender, or the gauge - as I tested the gauge by using a separate supply/earth (9v continuity tester)

1. Check the gauge, with a small supply (9v battery??) & see if it moves.
Wonder how much an ivory faced gauge is?

The gauge operates with a 9v supply across it, but what's the 3rd pin for? (fuel light??)

If two of the pins are + and - for the sender unit, the third MIGHT be for the illumination :?

Ive got a similar problem, my gauge always reads full....... If I take the sender out the tank it will read below 3/4 and full but never reads the amount in the tank right!
I find a full Jerry can is the most usful thing for this! :lol:

This is why I like the old military tanks on the series vehicles, up with seat base, pop cap off, eyes down and look in :lol:
No guessing, or wondering if it will run out on you, mind you only got one 10 gallon tank in so if I go on a run I'll carry a couple of 20 ltr cans as well
