Finally a video that shows how to repair, not replace and with a good explanation as to how it works.

Exactly what I needed thanks, 1976 1275gt Austin mini, almost exact same unit.

Great job, as always, John. When I got to the end of the video I remembered that my fuel gauge is a stick with lines drawn in it.

nice one,great advice and to the point,i know what i am doing in the morning,thanks dude

I repaired a "closed cell foam" float by drilling a hole in it just large enough for an automotive marker lamp (baseless bulb about 1/2" OD) Buoyancy regained and gage works great again. Drill hole slightly undersized for a tight press fit of the bulb glass into the foam.

brilliant , easy to follow video instructions, saved me so much time and ordering a sender unit that I didn't need. Fuel gauge now perfect. Thanks

A really nice honest guy...helpful and trustworthy...

Great! Now my MGB will do more mpg!! Thanks John!

[@Cromwell648]

I shall give it a go, thanks 👍

John, I am new to MGB ownership and regularly check out your videos. They are very helpful especially this one for the fuel sensor. I am happy to report my gauge is now fairly accurate after following your video fix. Thank you

[@billbaker8685]

Thanks - could not find a replacement for my 1964 pontiac bonneville fuel sender - I was able to repair the old one after watching your video.

John your shirt is first rate

[@MGB-learning]

Great video

[@samuelw1311]

Thanks John, I'm going to try this on my MGA.

[@MultiPetercool]

A tutorial on fuel gauge calibration would be nice.

[@americanpatriot2422]

Outstanding video and presentation.

[@stuartmeador8993]

Good video, thanks. The sending unit on my '74 B was so gunked up, I replaced it. Prior owner had allowed old gas in the tank. I eventually was able to clean up the bad gas and the car runs nicely now.

Hi. Great video! Love the deep explanation about inside that box. Didn't understood very well ( not my main language) but the thin wire could be replace with other thin wire? Why I need to keep the old one their?

[@Joe-wy2bn]

What an informative video, thank you!

[@crisbactad3008]

Thanks

[@mgbsandotherstuff2982]

Another excellent video. My fuel guage is a little jumpy, I wonder if this may be the cause, I'll check it out this spring.

[@pauldavies9464]

That was really interesting as the fuel gauge on my Triumph 2500 has stopped working or only comes up to 1/4 full so this could solve it, thank you

[@robertdavidson3090]

Also I wish I had seen a video like this several years ago when my sending unit failed. The new units are not consistent as I get a different reading each time my gauge starts to hit the red. (1977) Sometimes I need 1.5 gallons and other times I need 2 or more. I try to rely on the trip odometer but that sometime is finicky, possibly due to age.

[@preggo12000]

Great video but I wish he would have used a modern multimeter for us DIY guys. I always struggle with the multimeter settings.

[@kingOblag]

Can I recoil it with same copper wire size?

[@noobinho8882]

Am going to try on my nissan atlas truck 🚚 hope that fix my problem. Because my gauge do work but sometimes it say half or empty then it work again then do same thing again and again 😢 i would like to see it work great 😅

[@yelledileeladhar6878]

Sir can we use copper wire

[@T3glider]

My gauge only swings between 1/4 (empty) and 3/4 (full.) Clearly not a float problem and I find it strange that, if a calibration problem, it is at both ends of the range equally.

What is the name of your e-bay store? Send me a message.

That sending unit's pronouns are he/him.
