Fuel Gauge Repair Success
I finally got around to repairing my fuel gauge. It would seep just a trace when the tank was over 3/4 full.
I got the metal tools from Mike's Afordable, along with the gasket kits and additional large brass gasket. The brass float also came from Mike's. I followed the instructions in Les Andrews book and also searched previous threads here on the forum. I used two lightly oiled large brass gaskets/washers under the outer ring..worked great... This is a photobucket slide show.....I hope it works! Randy http://s1055.photobucket.com/user/gr...20fuel%20gauge This other version has captions....I don't know why the first one doesn't... http://s1055.photobucket.com/user/gr...%20gauge/story

Re: Fuel Gauge Repair Success
I see you have the magnified lens that goes from left to right and was the last version of the 2 that were used, what year is your tank stamped, mine is mid May, Pluck notes that May was the last month for a magnified glass.

1955cj5,
Very nice slide show. Maybe Ryan could put a section at the top where instructional slide shows could be placed so it wouldn't be necessary to search the posts. Maybe you could add a narrative or captions and post it on YouTube. David Serrano |

My tank is an 01-21-29... It didn't look like the lens had any magnification.....do you mean the oval viewing window? This version has captions.....scroll or use arrows to advance... http://s1055.photobucket.com/user/gr...%20gauge/story Some of the captions are missing...I'll try to add them again....

Re: Fuel Gauge Repair Success
Must be the the day for gauge repairs, replace a sunken cork float with an unsinkable float for Bert's. :-)
