<div>The petrol gauges are never very
accurate, not even on many new cars, but after several
replacements of senders and/or gauges from various sources, often
not OE or NOS, there is no way of knowing what matches what in
these old barges. Recalibration is not always easy.<br>
Best to check the distances in between 2 fills as a guide. <br><span class="">

<p class="MsoNormal">I have been meaning to thank everyone who
replied regarding my ask ‘for an elegant solution for a
radiator overflow bottle’. Well that had to be the dumbest
question of the year by far. Your offered solution …don’t top
up the radiator it will find its balance. Works like a charm,
who knew? Well obviously everyone on the list but me, duh. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Next thanks for the advice on the gas gauge
permanently reading full that caused me to come to a halt in
the midst of what was a wonderful drive in the Healey. It
just needed a ground as recommended. The gauge is still a
little erratic but I will play with it some more to see if it
smooth’s out. Or does it? Are the gas gauges fairly accurate
or are they just a rough guideline to gas amounts? I have a
new tank, a new sender unit and new wiring.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">And finally not to bring up another long
debated subject but last night’s adventure in the garage was
to install a Texas Cooler. Not because I was over heating and
not for any reason other than the lousy paint job I did on my
original fans was flaking off and I was surprised I could find
a Texas cooler since they are not being made anymore. </p>
