It does make me wonder if it is even possible to fix that inside ring back in the fuel tank?

Cheers

Hope so I'm going to grind the locking ring off tommorow order a new onethen see what happens,luckily i have me old military 110 to use.

The little tabs on the white ring are supposed to go in notches on the top of the tank - or at least mine do - and stop it turning, but yours don't seem to have worked! Back in 2012 when i was trying to cure a fuel leak I got a new white ring for mine. I don't recall it being very much. I chiselled the tabs off the old one so it would unscrew.

Hi Brown
Ihave screwed it back on it dosent go on as far lining up the tabs but i think it will be far enough,soon find out when the locking ring arrives.

Update
New locking ring arrived ,thanks Ian irb.
Pipework fitted elec plug back on,tight and in place.
Still no reading on the fuelguage,got a 12 volt feed to the guage & 6.7 volts to the sender unit.
Found a bodge fix with insulation tape but it got too dark before i could do a proper join,but just moving this wire gave me reading of half a tank, do a proper join tommorow see what the result is.
So half a fix so far.

Gauge working earthing seems to have been the problem,hopefully.
Thanks for your advice
