[Healeys] Fuel Gauge

[John Sims]

Not to start a flame war, but my gauge works when it damn well feels like it
-- not when I want it to work. I use the method devised by a lister some
time ago in which I ran the tank empty, poured in a gallon, stuck a wooden
rod down, marked it with a notch where it was wet, added another gallon,
marked it, etc. etc, until the tank was full. After a long drive, I measure
the gallons left in the tank and this tells me how much longer I have before
I have to fill up. Hasn't failed me yet but the gauge sure does look nice on
my dash.

I have a problem with the gas gauge or the gas level sensor in the tank in
my
BN7 MK2.  The gauge reads Full all the time, no matter how much is in the
tank unless I really stand on the accelerator, and then the gauge drops to
1/4 and then comes back to full.  The gauge was rebuilt by Mo-Ma in 2005,
and the
sensor has never been rebuilt or replaced.   Is there an easy way to check
the
tank sensor?  John Snyder, Port Townsend, WA
