Hi,

Though I have had most other electrical components out of the dart at some point in time, I've not had the dash out yet.

I can't see (thanks to a roll cage bar under the dash ) where the plug is on the rear on the dash cluster. I know there is a sender in the tank, which goes via a blue cable all the way to this gauge; it does not work though. In the past it has, kind of ish and been spot on level wise (give or take a full tank of petrol).

Any suggestions for getting it to work again?

I've tried grounding the sender cable, it does nothing now. In the past it used to move a little bit, to about 1/4 tank then give up.

I don't really want to do anything electrical on the car ever again but I could do with knowing how much fuel is in it.

There used to be a clip on strap to earth the tank to the fuel pipe. Often it pays to put in an additional earthing strap as these old ones corrode and make a bad contact.

Do you have the original tank or a fuel cell? Fuel Cells need to be earthed too for a variety of reasons.

Oh.

Oh....

That makes sense then, perhaps.

I had a the tank replaced with a new replica type, I can not recall any 'earth device of any sorts between the fuel tank and the shell.

That could explain quite a bit. Thanks Pete.

Will look like this; http://www.classicindustries.com/produc ... mf290.html

It bridges the rubber fuel line right by the tank,connecting the tank outlet to the metal fuel line.

Never seen one of these on the underside of the car

Thanks guys.
