Wobbly fuel gauge
Discussion
After a weekend of bombing around and hoping to empty the fuel tank to below half,I managed to remove the fuel sender from the tank without gushing fuel down the driveway.I got a new seal and lockring from a Rover dealer(parts from the original mini fuel tank which I recognised)Cleaned all the rust around the tank area and rebuilt.The guage works correct now,but on a roadtest,any corner and the guage pendulums up and down.Is this the norm? or is there a resistor to slow the effect down.
Mike,I only bought the locking ring which is identical to the TVR part and a rubber seal.The mini fuel sender will fit in the hole and has the benefit of the earth spade connector on the base,so those that have snapped them off the tank can retrofit it.The sender will need a bit of manipulation as the arm fits in at right angle to the tank face and will just need a bit of bending.I did notice that on the old sender after cleaning it up,that the letters'SW' were on it.This must mean that the sender is of Stuart Warner guages,so original replacements can't be that hard to find.
