It is filled with either and the nut size is 5/8". Take it out and 
plug the hole with a bolt for now but be sure your care does not over 
heat because you will not have anyway of knowing it. The bulb seals 
against a seat with pressure from the nut. Palo Alto Speedometer can 
rebuild the gauge and supply a new bulb. If you have it rebuilt, the 
copper tube is supposed to be zinc plated and you need to tell the 
rebuilder this fact. I did not have mine plated.
