Gas guage slip rings
Just wondered how many brass slip rings you fit I normally fit two but maybe one would be enough . I have found 3 or 4 which does seem overkill

Yup, with a very light coating of oil on them to aid in them slipping.

Re: Gas guage slip rings
The reason for added slip rings is so the assembly does not bottom out of the threads and cause fuel leakage. Modern gaskets may not be as thick as the originals.

Re: Gas guage slip rings
As Tom Endy implies, use as many brass slip rings as necessary for a proper leak-free fit and function.
