- Hello Healey listers: Any secrets or pearls out there on BJ8 gas gauge accuracy? My gauge goes to full when tank is filled up, then after about 20 miles it goes to 1/2 full and the needle starts goin

- When I owned a GT6 it had a voltage stabalizer for the fuel gauge. It was a plug in unit. I have seen them for sale in some of the British Parts catalogs. Doug '56 BN2 Not done this, but has anyone t

- Bill, when I was testing my float/gauge combination on the workbench I noted a similar behavior of the needle while moving the float. If you look at the path of the current you'll see that the curren

- Your warning is a good one and should not be dismissed, however, [potentially] sparking components are pretty common in gasoline tanks (gauge sender, fuel pump, etc.). As long as the gaseous contents

- I prefer the guage the way it is. It allows me to accurately judge if there is a small amount of fuel in the tank when it is close to empty. With a capacitor on there, it takes away this ability...
