Default Gas Cap/Fuel Gauge

How cool is this?
does anyone know where to get one compatible with our tanks?
I think this is the thing most missing from the kits.

That is nice, I like it. But no I do not know where to get one for our tanks. I will sure keep an eye out for one.

That is one of the coolest things ever. Do you have a link to that one that's pictured? might be nice for a custom tank.

Interesting, my lawn tractor has one of those. I think they are always screw on but if you were willing to mess around , you could cannibalize your original for parts and make one out of two.
Because of the shape of our tanks it would not read properly as the gas level reached empty but my guess is that it would work from Full to 3/4 empty.

I agree, but i'm sure one can be sourced/persuaded to fit, even if it didn't read past 3/4 empty doesn't REALLY matter as i'm one of these shallow vanity people who'd love to show it off because it looks good.

I had one several years ago to use on a small generator .The float stem was too long,so i took a small eclip from above and below the float and cut the twisted rod off with a hack saw blade then i made 2 more cuts to match the ones at the bottom,moved the float up.If you had a spare cap you could take the chrome cover off and jb weld it onto your threaded.Harleys Dad
