MGB fuel gauge common issue VID 20231018 172755314

MGB Workshop covers one of the MGB's common issues with an inaccurate fuel gauge. The defective sending unit float is normally one of the causes of an inaccurate fuel tank reading. The poor quality of many of the new replacement parts is common. These new parts either have problems with fitting, build quality and longevity. In todays video I will replace a fairly new fuel tank sending unit float that failed after less than a year. Todays fuel has a high level of alcohol. Our older cars were not designed to operate with these types of fuels. Fortunately, in this case a replacement is available without the need to replace the entire unit.

Commifornia requires a Smog inspection every 2 years or else I would. The photos where taken at Lover's Point Pacific Grove. Next to where John Denver had his accident in his small airplane.
