Hi Group - this question is loosely rover related cos i tow my boat with a 90 and its got a rover V engine! Ive always been a bit unhappy with the fuel gauge sender - its a simple float affair with sliding contacts onto a coil to give a variable resistance. My concern is that this is mounted inside the fuel tank with no form of gaseous isolation. when i measure voltage to earth at the connections, i have 12v which causes me concern! i have played in the dark in trying to create a spark by momentarily grounding these connections to earth but this fortunately has proved unsuccessful!
Power supply to the gauge comes from a small sealed box on the dash gauge - can anyone tell me if this is a standard set up and perfectly safe or should i remove the wires and use a dip stick?
thanks in anticipation
steve
