The gauge seems to operate normally other than not reading full when the tank actually is, though I haven't driven to the point of getting a low fuel light, so I may have to check on that part of its functiion, as well. |
OD, I'm with you on making the cars as perfect as possible, working on gas tanks is a pita. There is a chance you can replace the float mechanism without tank removal or even free up the unit you have. I've never studied that part of Bentley. I certainly wasn't suggesting you let the vehicle fall into disrepair, just letting you know gas tanks suck. Since I run half tank to save weight, it would never bother me...
PS If you run it to the near empty, then fill it up you might just get lucky and get the float working again, it's not without precedent.
