Water Level Gauge

[andythilo]

As part of my dash re-fit I want to install a water tank level gauge but I need a black faced one with chrome trim, 52mm. But I can't find one, anyone know where I can get one?

Or alternativly an electronic gauge could be used. Any Ideas?

ASAP Supplies have lots of gauges from various manufacturers; maybe they have something suitable??

then click on "level sensor"


I had a pressure operated fuel gauge from them - not shown but had to ask.

Thanks I was hoping for either an electronic indicator type or round gauge type like a fuel gauge.

Last year, I fitted one from these people. http://www.wema.co.uk/pg_fuel_and_water.htm

Good service, works well.

Hope this helps

The one I quote, shows a linear (electric) meter, but that can be substituted for a round meter.

I use one of these senders ( http://www.centroidproducts.com/data.htm ) which then drives a VDO gauge that matches my other fuel /oil pressure /water temp gauges.

I fitted a Vetus one a couple of years ago; excellent.

Philip, I have to replace the two waterlevel guages in my Oceanlord as they have fallen to peices. These look like an exact replacement, but without the push button bit (which are the bits that fell to peices!)

Do you know if I can just replace the current ones with these. or can I just take out of the circuit the broken push buttons, which are probably preventing the guages from working in the first place?

Chris, i wouldn't like to say, but if you contact Terry Henderson himself, he will be able to advise you. terry(at sign)hendersons.co.uk

It was he who was able to construct the fuel gauge I have in our Duo, as I cannot get to the top of the tank. The gauge pressure feed comes off the bottom of the tank at the drain-off cock.

what about one of these :

or this which lists the gauge and separate sensor poles:

not my listing

 

[andythilo]

I think the problem I have is that my gauges are Smiths black with chrome bezel and look very nice. Any other round gauge would not look right I feel so thought about some led type meter but small. I'm probably asking too much lol.

 

[andythilo]

What about this? Ok it only has 4 indicators but it's only fresh water after all. It's small also 60x60mm and cheap at £35 including the probe.

you will sometimes find that you can change the front bezels by uncrimping them and swapping the rings.

I have fitted a Faria black Euro style electric fuel level gauge. It had a car type float sender in the tank.

I got all the bits from ASAP. As was said by the previous poster they should be able to supply you with all the necessary bits.
