Gas gauge schematic

[Tom Wesenberg]

I bought the kit from a dealer in Md. the inner nut would not thread in,I believe it was because the threads were plated,I called and complained but reinstalled my old one

I had the identical problem on a customer's car about 10 years ago, and I also used the original nut.

I bought that same kit from that same dealer in MD. However, I never intended to install it -- only used it as a static display. I built a complete dash unit to sit on my desk as an incentive and reminder of what was yet to come. This was about a year before I actually owned my current vehicle.

If a gas gauge show gas in the window when you fill the tank, is something not assembled correctly? Sorry don't want to steal this thread.

The gas gauge SHOULD show gas in the window until it gets down to somewhere around 3/4 or so.

Thanks CarlG. I was a little worried it would start dripping on my shoes!

That's what the gas gauge gasket set is for.
