Try to salvage or toss?
It's soaking in solvent, but a cruddy, corroded mess. Arm is free.

The arm could be stuck. Take your gauge out. Then move the arm up and down.
If your fuel gauge moves then your arm was probably stuck or the short is on
the sender side. If the gauge doesn't move when you move the arm then your
short is on the gauge side. If you replace the gauge then go with one with
numbers near 30-250ohm. I forget the exact numbers but those are real close.

I have an aluminum tank so the fuel guage is a very important insturment to
me. I'd put a new one in in a second. Looks like you got your money's worth
on that one. But you still need to see what your problem was so does the
fuel guage move when you move the arm?

Not at hangar now so can't check gauge. As far as the moneys-worth, I've had
less than 10 hours in the air, and maybe two or three of those enjoyable.
The rest of the time since mid-May acquisition has been repairing, rigging,
finding and waiting for parts and resurrecting the dead with email insight
from Kolbers, for which I am grateful. Every day something shows that needs
reviving or replacing. Wish I knew more about the history of this machine.
This morning early, with left door removed, I was able to work in the
direction of my earlier art photo aerials. Starting with some oblique of
the lake and got into near- vertical land art as the eye found it and the
ongoing rigging of the MKIII made it more comfortable to fly. Think this
jpg is small enough to be acceptable to the list.

I have a fuel gauge that doesn't even go in the tank , and it works great.
It's called the miZer ( Jack Hart has it too )
It tells me how much fuel is left ( in gals ) and it tells me "fuel Flow"
it has an alarm that you can set , But "I" couldn't hear it until I landed
It has a Stainless Steel Turbine on Jeweled bearings that goes inline on your fuel line ( as long as you don't have a "return line" to the tank )
it has been VERY accurate....But it's 300 bucks ( Aircraft Spruce )
Just thought you might want to know.....

If you are interested in the Fuel Mizer, it can be bought from many
boat and marine stores or online boat suppliers for less than 1/2 the
Aircraft Spruce price quoted.
