Features
- Compatible with 6, 12 or 24 volt systems
- Works with variable resistance tank sender
- Mounting in 52 mm dashboard aperture
- Connections: IGN (power supply), S (sender), earth via housing

★ This fuel gauge only functions correctly when both the gauge and the tank sender are properly earthed. With rubber tank mountings, an additional earth cable from tank sender to chassis may be necessary.
Installation notes
Always check the earth connections of both the fuel gauge and the tank sender for correct operation. When using rubber tank fixings that isolate the sender from the chassis earth, an additional earth cable must be installed from the sender housing to the chassis frame. Connection: IGN terminal to 6V/12V/24V power supply via dashboard (from ammeter), S terminal to tank sender, earth via gauge housing.
Compatibility
This gauge is suitable for systems with variable resistance tank senders as used on WWII military vehicles. Works with 6 volt, 12 volt and 24 volt electrical systems. Check before fitting whether your tank sender is compatible with the resistance range of this gauge.
Historical context
During WWII, fuel gauges from manufacturers such as Stewart-Warner and King-Seeley were used on military jeeps. These gauges operated on the basis of variable resistance in the tank sender, a robust system suitable for military applications.
