Gorgeous! Mercedes used a veryyyyyy similar fuel level sensor in their 80s and 90s cars. My Mercedes 190E and 190D both had to have theirs cleaned after I bought them. The wires are resistive and the float has contacts on it that run along the length of the wires. The sensor reports the resistance which causes the gauge to deflect and point to the proper marking in the instrument cluster. :) The wires are EXTREMELY delicate; any stretch will make the gauge inaccurate. The wires and float contact can be cleaned gently with carb cleaner. The MB float also had a separate set of contacts on the bottom which touched a pair of contacts on the bottom of the sensor housing. Those contacts completed the circuit for the low fuel warning light that was at the bottom end of the fuel gauge in the instrument cluster. If that light comes on you know you're running on the reserve capacity of the tank.
@RestoreIt4 жыл бұрын
Fantastic comment thank Manny! When I first saw those wires I thought to my self, how is there anything electrial going on in a fuel tank? What if spark... But I really have no idea what I'm talking about when it comes to electrics. Thanks for the info! :)
@mannys91304 жыл бұрын
@@RestoreIt You've expertly restored several electronic things on this channel! :) You know more than the layman that's for sure. Liquid gasoline isn't flammable, so those contacts are either submerged in liquid gasoline all the time or they are always in contact with the sensor wire. 5 and 12 volt sensor circuits likely won't make a big spark if the circuit is interrupted. The air-fuel vapor mixture in a gas tank that's empty usually isn't ideal for burning either because there isn't enough oxygen. Anyway, modern fuel level sensors use a flat plane style with a stylus that sweeps over a semicircle of conductive traces. Also very little risk of spark or vapor ignition. :) Of course, diesel is MUCH safer than gasoline. You guys in Europe have many more diesel vehicles than we do in the US. Diesel is very difficult to ignite without a wick. 🤷 I loved my 1984 190D and I'll get another diesel car in the future.

at 2:50 i would recommend when undoing rusty nuts that you turn the nut back up clockwise again as if you were tightening it so that the rust does not get clogged the thread and reduces the risk of snapping the bolt. when the nut feels like its getting tight after loosening then turn it back a few turns, when tapping a new thread with a tap and die the procedure is generally 1 full turn 1 half turn back for a similar reason.

Also, change your firing order to all cylinders at once for a 600% increase of power. I hope this helps.

You didn't look inside the tank at all?? I mean it's nice that you cleaned and painted the outside, but it would have been good to power clean the inside of it... when you leave it in storage a long time (especially when it's empty) the tank can corrode, andgather dirt and dust, which will get in your fuel lines and other components and u will be clogged. this is what happened to me, it was a nightmare, my E34 would die on and off and nobody could figure out what it was.. I changed the fuel pump and everything... had to remove the tank and power clean it.

Have you kept some kind of list of prices and costs of these restoring jobs? Would be cool to know actual prices when this project is finished.

A lot of people have asked me this and i still need to sit down and do some calculations. I will make a community post one day letting everyone know where I'm at so far, as soon as I get time to do so :)

Once it´s all done and dusted. Can you break down the cost of everything and the amount of manhours that went into this project?
