Useful advice as usual! Will follow it surely!! Will remove the gauge and also check continuity (is that a way of checking it?), as the gauge is conked off and wonder if this float wala thing is the culprit or the instrument in the cluster! Removing the tank - so might as well have a look at this thing too.
Rust? Yes! at the mouth itself it is rusting and I have to figure out what to do for that!! Ciao // Rajeev Joan Crawford - "I, Joan Crawford, I believe in the dollar.
