I'll confess to limited knowledge of TR6s but would suggest you check 
the sending unit.  Perhaps a search or a lister can provide the 
resistance you should be getting for empty, half-full, full, etc.

I have used a length of copper wire bent into an inverted hook and 
inserted thru the filler to operate the float arm and test the 
resistance w/o removing the unit from the tank.
