hi
iv`e got a 68 t2 camper and just finished putting in the 1700 engine.
wiring it all up today got everything working except the fuel gauge..there is no petrol in the tank at all... and the needle on the gauge goes up to just past the red bit (reserve mark )
so i earthed the wire and the needle goes up to full.
next... i took the sender unit out and its a right wierd looking thing...is a plastic tube with a round float that goes up and down inside the tube??on the top of the sender unit it stamped v.d.o and has the vw mark on it..anyone seen one like this before. if i conect it up to the wire and turn it upside down..the needle on the gauge goes to full..so its working.
any ideas...
cheers jon
