Hmm. That's not a bad idea. However, I'm afraid that you're
not the first to have noticed this, but the second, as I ran
into the exact same problem on my 1970 TR6 on my way back from
the VTR National convention, except mine occurred at the 1/8
point on the fuel gauge. Maybe this is a systemic problem
with the manufacturing of Triumph motorcars?
:-) :-)

PS: Actually, it probably isn't just limited to Triumphs as
I once had this happen on a 1986 Taurus when the fuel gauge
registered 3/4, as well. Maybe the function of that hollow
metal container is an unexplained phenomenon, like the "soft
brakes fix" Bruce described?
