Good evening,
The sender unit on the Nippy has never worked properly - it even came with a stick marked in US gallons (which is where it spent much of its life from 1945 until 1989 / 1990) so I guess it didn't work for many years over there either.
When totally full, the gauge reads just over a gallon but soon disappears to a zero reading. The float doesn't appear to be full of petrol and the wiring is obviously working OK I think.
Does anyone have a spare one or know where I can get one from please? I also need to know what model I need as I believe they come in many shapes, sizes and specifications.
It's nothing too desperate as I've run the car like this since 1991 but it would be nice to get the gauge working properly sooner or later.
Looking forward to receiving some tip offs!
Best wishes,
Nick
