Gday all.
Hang in there garry at least your getting to know every part of your 101;). as for the fuel guage the amount of fuel these things use just stop at a servo once a day and all will be good.:D rons on the money with the universal sender they are easy to fit and set. good luck
cheers gaz
Thanks but the sender is all OK - it is the little flat resistor that bridges the terminals on the back of the gauge. I will bridge them with a variable resistor to find out what the actual resistance is that makes the gauge works OK and get a normal resistor of the same amount from Jaycar and put it all back together.
Cheers

Not any more - just burntout but was able to repair it after pulling it apart and soldering in some bridging wire - works the same as before so I have just repainted the fuel gauge to match.
It is all going to go together as is - I will refuel with the truck on the flat and I will see if the petrol leak from the filler comes back - we know the answer to that.

Hi Gary
Are you sure it's a resistor on the back of the gauge? I thought it would be a capacitor to dampen the action.
No I am not sure - checked the fuel gauges on my two series 1s and they are exactly the same. Any way it is all back in - with the help of some white out and a black texta pen the gauge now reads correct.

Gary,
If I remember correctly, you were worried about the roadworthy man might not be able to read the engine number when you were going in for rego.
I am the same - I know where the engine number is but even with a mirror and light I cannot even see the engine number next to the dipstick and down behind the exhaust. I have tried from above and through the side access panel - any tricks??
Thanks
Garry
