Can any of you fellows tell me how the gas gauge operates in my '32 BB truck? I've cleaned up and re-soldered a tiny crack in the tank unit, and returned it to the tank. however the tiny steel line (running to the gauge) is rusted off and clogged shut. So I will need to replace it. But it would be helpful to understand just HOW it works. I'm now wondering if the gauge will still work. Can you help? Also, is the tallest tube on the sending unit (and coming out thru the bottom) supposed to be an OPEN air vent? Thanks.
